How many ft lb of torque for scope rings

If we are talking about a Ruger Mini 14 that number is probably 182-92513. That serial number was manufactured in 1981. If you need a more specific date you will need to contact Ruger.

Terrible weapon, don't shoot it. Send it to me and I'll dispose of it for you. :^)

No, Ruger uses custom rings which clamp onto the receiver in machined groves. You can get Burris "Weaver to Ruger" adapters for about $33.00 at Brownells. Mfr Part: 410990

Is it for a plain jane mini-14 or a Ranch Rifle. the mount and mounting process is different.

For the information you require you will need to take it to a gunsmith, or contact Ruger themselves.

Yes thats about all there is to it, adjust in small steps and tap on the barrel of the scope with a screw driver handle (light taps) after each adjustment before firing the gun.
