If you don’t have an inch pound torque screwdriver, use a short Allen key and use only the short side, once it stops turning freely, just snug it a little and you should be ok. I recommend you buy the wheeler driver, they are cheap and you’ll use it a lot. Also, put some purple loctite on the screws

Ok. Inserting the longer end into the screw and using the short end to turn it?

Thanks. Got it tightened up. Now time to shoot and see.

I highly recommend owning one if you plan on mounting optics or anything else that requires precise torque on small screws.

Yep. Looked em up on feebay. I'll get one later. Tks Also moved the mount back one rail because it looked like the forward rail might have been touching the mount.

Man. This scope is nice. At dusk you can see real well and at night with a weapon light u can still use it. Very impressed.

Shot it today. Wooohoooo! Much easier to hit the bullseye. 50 yards.3 shot group hornady frontier 125gr. Ejecting at about 4:00. Gun is easily more accurate than I am very impressed with the poly upper/lower. 1:8 twist 10.5 barrel with "sound forwarder" attached.
