torque on dovetail base screws

[high_revs]

i got the bkl 257 from recommendation below. bkl just says up to 35 in/lbs torque is max. can't seem to find what the rings base torque should be on the cz 457 scout dovetail. any recommendations? some posts i see say 18 in/lbs.

not sure if repeated trial and error until it stops walking will make it harder to stick next time. any recommendations?

I apply blue thread locker and tighten to 8-10 in-lb. They have not come loose yet after 2k-3k rounds on CF rifles and 10k-12k rounds on rimfire.

i'll start off with that then odd that the base torque would be less that the scope torque? thought it's be equal at least.

You torque the screws based on their size, grade and material.

You reduce the torque when you use loctite because the loctite acts as a thread lubricant.
