I wanted to add this after having had the early issues I did with my scope.
I had never previously used a scoped rifle, and certainly had never mounted one.
My concern was making sure everything was right, receiver to the bases, bases to the rings, rings to the scope. Among my concerns were both under tightening and over tightening the rings to the scope and causing sight in issues from a loose scope or a warped tube. Improper torque on the rings was in truth my biggest concern.
My solution was to order a Warne preset torque driver T15 bit set to 25 inch pounds. My rings recommended a torque of 22 to 28 inch pounds.
My wife ordered it for me through amazon with a free trial of prime with free two day shipping for $16.
The ring to scope install was easy. When the driver clicked, I was done and I haven't given it a second thought.
For me, a novice and complete noob, this was a perfect solution.
