I have the SWFA SS medium rings with Sightron S3 8-32x56 on the Savage 12 F/TR.
How many inch/pounds do I tighten the rings to the scope? Where should I find that information?
Thank You

take a little allen wrench an L shaped one using the small end of it to hold go finger tight should do the job

Otherwise Commonly used screw diameters qt threads from 0.157" - 0.164" would be right around 25 in lbs of torque if your screws are smaller (0.131" - 0.138") 20 in lbs Hope that helps.. Dont forget your purple locktite

25 - 30 inch pounds is almost always a safe bet.

FYI if you are going to stick around this site for any length of time you might want to invest in a torque wrench...very important to get the lbs.correct. & you will more than likely start purchasing more scopes[a good reason to buy more rifles]
