    I got the 1-6NM from the link below for $57.00 landed took 3 weeks. Works good even came with a test certificate for what that's worth.

    Why is it imperative that the front screw is done up tightly first? Wouldn't of thought either one would matter if they are both torqued the same.

    If there is a stated torque value from the manufacturer (generally there is), then why not use it?

    Cos I'm too cheap to get a torque wrench.... Figure if my rifles are shooting 1-1.5 inch at 100m then why bother getting worried about detail. Argee that there are some wanting better results than this though

    Sorry 223, that wasn't meant as a direct question, more an open statement.
