Overview

The Vortex Optics Torque Wrench Mounting Kit provides everything you need for proper scope installation in one convenient package. Proper scope mounting isn't just about tightening screws—it requires correct torque, proper alignment, thread preparation, and maintenance. This kit bundles the essential tools and supplies into a comprehensive solution for first-time installers and experienced shooters alike, ensuring your expensive optic is mounted correctly and safely.

The kit centers around a torque wrench with 10-50 in-lbs range (or 10-90 in-lbs for the Pro model), covering the torque specifications for virtually all scope rings, mount screws, and base attachments. Five hex bits (9/64", 3/16", 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm), three Torx bits (T10, T15, T25), a 10mm slotted bit, and socket adapters ensure compatibility with Vortex and other manufacturers' mounting systems. The alignment bars help you verify scope alignment before final tightening, preventing stress on the tube.

Thread locker secures fasteners against recoil, while lubricant ensures proper torque readings and prevents galling on aluminum threads. The Pro model adds extended Torx bits and additional hex sizes for even more versatility. Whether you're mounting your first scope or your fiftieth, this kit eliminates guesswork and ensures consistent, reliable installations. It's particularly valuable for shooters who work on multiple rifles or help friends with scope mounting—you'll have the right tool for every situation.
