DTA scope mount
Does anyone have some info on what the screws should be torqued to for this mount? I know what the base screws need to be at 70-80 Inch pounds...
Re: DTA scope mount
Hi there Archaos answered this one a little while back and has posted dtas recommendations and all the details for the correct install of the scope and mounts in the dta rifles section or if they didn't come with your rifle there also on the dta website I'll find it and paste it in for you

MOUNTING SCOPE
1. Identify front of base (fig. 26) (Screws should be on right side) Front should face muzzle.
2. Loosen and remove ring screws, loosen but DO NOT remove ring base screws.
3. Tilt base on right side, placing dove tail catch under picatinny rail. (fig. 27a)
4. Rotate base until flat on top of picatinny
rail. (ensure left dove tail goes under
rail)
5. Tighten base screws to 68 inch lbs. (fig.
27b)
6. If applicable install bottom half of 30mm reducer inserts (fig. 28)
7. Place scope inside ring.
8. If applicable install top ring inserts.
9. Install ring tops. (fig. 29)
10. Finger tighten ring screws (leave it loose
enough that the scope can still rotate inside the rings)
11. Establish eye relief
• Get into favorite shooting position • Pull rifle firmly into shoulder
• Close your eyes
• Affirm cheekweild
• Open your eyes
• Adjust scope forward or backward until any ghost ring goes away. (addi-
tional forward or backward adjustment can be gained by moving the entire scope ring base forward or backward along the picatinny rail)
12. Place feeler gauges (and spacer if neces- sary) between flat of bottom of scope and the flat on ring base, (fig. 30) adjust- ing the filler gauges until there is a snug fit.
13. Tighten ring screws to 15 in lb, rotating from left to right in a criss cross pattern. While you tighten, ensure filler gauges are not too tight. They should always have some left to right play.
Just check the DTA website for the pics
