Tech sights

Guys what is the torque spec for rear sight.

I accidentally torqued it to 25 inch pounds.

I didn’t think that was a lot since the screw is thicker than the rail mounts.

The screw didn’t snap but I took it out and reinstalled it to 20 inch/lbs. only because I didn’t want the vibrations and over torquing be an issue.

When I unscrewed the stock rear sight it seemed like it was on very tight.

Just want your input. Any issues going to 25 inch/lbs in the future and then backing all the way out and going to 20 inch/lbs?

Should I get another screw from tech sights and toque it to 15?

Mini 14 scout project

I know the old mini 14 accuracy was nothing to brag about.

I want a small reliable mini 14 project. I picked up this rifle obviously brand new.

I want to use the stripper clip, flush 5 round magazines and either the hanibal Samson rail or ultimak.

What scope do you guys recommend that will
Not break the bank with decent magnification, light weight and good eye relief?

I know people successfully push this rifle to 300 yards and beyond.

Not interested in a reply for a guy under 30 who is jacked up in his micro***** and is obsessed with ar15. I already have two of them somewhat boring.

I am an ak guy and like wood furniture. The mini 14 is accurate. I would have went with Springfield m1a socom but it is too big and heavy and expensive.
