Seems everything has gone to Torx-head screws these days. For the most part, that's a good thing- if you've got the correct-size tool for the screwing task at hand. Torx screws are more robust and less likely to strip than conventional notched screw heads or Allen-head screws. However, working with the little L-shaped wrenches supplied in scope ring packaging gets old.
Plus, you fumble a lot more with them, so you owe it to yourself and your fine firearms to pick up a set of proper Torx drivers. You'll cross-thread fewer screws, scratch fewer guns and have more finesse when screwing Get your mind out of the gutter.
Admittedly, this compact set of interchangeable bits is not quite as highbrow as finely machined individual drivers, but hey, it fits in the pocket of a jacket and includes most of the flat-head, Philips-head, and Allen-head bits you'll need for working on guns. Plus, there's a shank extension and a compact ratchet in the hinge-top case.
Bits are ground properly for use with fine gun screws, and a size-chart sticker inside the case lid provides quick, easy reference. Probably more hunting rifles in America wear Leupold twist-in scope rings than any other type of ring. Unfortunately, all too many of those rings have scars from being installed using a crescent wrench, and in a few really sad cases, the scope living in the rings is bent or dented from being used as a fulcrum to turn the ring into the dovetailed mortise.
This wrench is engineered to work on both 1-inch and 30mm rings, and turns in stubborn rings without leaving the slightest mark.
Even if you're a tactical or precision rifle guy that leans toward rail-type rings, you owe it to all your needy hunting buddies to have a Leupold Scope Ring Tool on hand. Ever mashed the hex-head hole in a screw out of usable shape, or worse, stripped the threads from a hole in a rifle action? Or have you ever crunched down scope ring screws so tight that the optic tube within has been dented? As gun guys, we tend to believe a little inner voice that whispers "tighter is better!
This interchangeable-bit torque wrench will enable you to tighten screws exactly to manufacturer's spec every time. It's potent enough to torque the stoutest action bolts to spec and fine enough to tighten small screws at very light torque, and it comes with a set of 10 common gunsmithing bits. Some shooters and hunters want their scope's crosshairs to "look" straight, reality be durned. This leveling kit won't help them, but then, little will.
If you appreciate precision, especially at longer ranges where crosshair tilt plays havoc with holdovers, you need level crosshairs. Few systems are perfect, but this reticle leveling system from Wheeler Engineering helps you come pretty darned close.

Bench Source Barrel Vice. We do not supply the bolts because we have no way of knowing the necessary length to facilitate mounting to your particular bench. These bolts should be Grade 5 or better to ensure that the over hung load will be supported if you lose grip of your rifle. We have used the vise many times at the shooting range to switch barrels between matches. Using the vise in this manner, you will find that a friend or helper will be most useful.
Please note that by using the clamps, the vise will not be as secure as mounting permanently using the bolts as previously mentioned. There should be no problem clamping on a tapered or straight barrel. While using the vise is somewhat self explanatory, we have come up with several things that will be helpful. If you are concerned that you may scratch or leave clamp marks on the O.
It is a good idea to use a thin piece of leather, It should wrap around your barrel one complete revolution without overlapping. Be aware that leather will sometimes degrade the look of a blued barrel. Another thing that we have used with a lot of success is a piece of thin cardboard. Simply slide it over your barrel from the muzzle end and leave it sticking out both sides of the barrel vise to make sure that you utilizing the full surface area of the jaws.
When clamping on your barrel, always grip it as closely as possible to the breach end. Note that we nearly always switch barrels leaving the action and screws securely in place in the stock. While this may seem a little awkward, it works very well if you have a helping hand as we mentioned earlier. There is no magical amount of torque that needs to be put on the clamp studs to securely keep your barrel from spinning in the vise. Just remember that you must get them tight enough. Spinning your barrel in the vise no matter what you are using to protect it will most likely leave witness marks.
When tightening, always try to maintain an even amount of torque on both studs to get maximum gripping power. Always use a good rear entry action wrench or suitable wrench that fits the receiver ringon your action. This will ensure that no harm will come from over stressing or twisting your bolt raceways.
Either type of wrench will work satisfactorily. Every manufacturer has different specifications as to locking compound or lack there of and the amount of torque required to keep your barrel secure.
There is no specific answer. What works for us may not be suitable for you because of your barrel twist rate, vibration, thread condition, et cetera.
What we do recommend is to clean the threads spotless on the tenon of your barrel and inside the receiver ring of your action before re-installing a barrel. Along with this you must lubricate the barrel threads with grease or anti-seize compound to prevent galling. Even some locking compounds lubricate properly if your intent is to not switch barrels often.
