Barrel length is 22 1/2' common with earlier L61R series. knurled, with the integral dovetail slots Sako has been using for decades. 375 H & H caliber with a 2 1/2 x Weaver scope in Sako rings. I wouldn't want to deform an expensive scope. Sako Finnlight 2 6.5CM 24, Leupold VX3HD 4.5-14x40 B&C. From here on out when I need further specs I won't call the ring's maker I will call the scope's maker to see what their scopes like. I never considered the tube's strength that low down in the torque range until Vortex told me to stop at 18. If your rings should theoretically be at 22 pound inches, but the scopes tube will start to deform at 20, then guess what. He told me most Vortex scopes can take 18 lb/in and hold tight without ruining the scope tube.

What will THAT TUBE hold up to? That's what he told me to pay attention to, not the scope rings screws. MOST quality scope caps will ruin a scope tube regardless, so it's not ON the cap screw material, thread pitch, OR who makes the scope caps-it's on the scope's manufacturer. Too many people are getting hung up on the torque spec being based off of the material of the cap screws, the thread pitch, and whether or not there's some form of lubrication in there-admittedly I was one of those people (coming from the auto mechanics world).Ī few months ago I was trying to get some torque specs for some rings and decided to call Vortex to see what they said and he told me something that I hadn't considered it's not on the screw material or the thread pitch.
