I have been using 20-25 inch pounds with zero issues. The polymer rail doesn't deform and the mounts stay tight.

I would simply contact the manufacturer for their polymer specs and also go by the optics manufacturer specs for the optic itself.

65in/lbs is a crazy amount, especially on a polymer frame. I;ve seen instructions for aluminium parts saying not to go over 18-20!

Check out the Wheeler fat Wrench, every gun box should have one.
Thank you all for reply.
The mount is a Warne, and yes per the instructions mounting scope to rail is 65 inches. I have contacted them and they do not have specs for polymer.
15-25 inches seems to be the range for the actual rings across the board for several manufactures, but
The base spec are all over the board from what I have seen.

Yes Wheeler makes a "fat wrench" that is a screw driver type of torque wrench.
I use a Snap-On inch pound wrench as I already own it.
When looking at torque wrenches invest properly. Tool is designed to be a precision unit. Accuracy, reliability, repeat-ability is everything.
This is defiantly a scenario of you get what you pay for.

A while back I saw a post somewhere that stated their value was 65in/lbs for a mount and I thought they were crazy. Sure enough, I researched it and that was indeed the suggested torque.
