Question Torque Specs for Warne Base/rings

Does 25lbs for rings and 65lbs for base sound right to torque the screws for Warne base and rings? This will be on a 300 Win Mag if that makes a difference.

Thanks Rob

25 inch pounds for the ring screws is correct. Not sure on the bases...I guess blue Loctite and gorilla tight??? LOL.

Warne recommends both rings and bases torqued to 25lb.

Thanks for the replies. A gun smith confirmed the 25lbs for both base and rings.
