Mounting most scopes require a torque spec on the screws that mount it. Too much torque and the scope tube is distorted or crushed, too little and the scope won't be stable.  Does anyone have a good source for a torque screwdriver (20 inch pounds or so)?

I just got mine yesterday.  Great device.  Get the sniper kit... it's worth it.  

Opinion,untempered by fact,is ignorance.

There are some who do not fear death... for they are more afraid of not really living
