Acro to Staccato Plate Torque Specs

[Two Scoops]

Everything I'm reading so far has stated 26in lbs for mounting this to the plates made by Staccato. I'm also seeing 15in lbs for aluminum plates. Since the plates are aluminum, what torque spec should be used? What are you guys torquing these things down to?

Where are you seeing 15 in lbs for aluminum plates?

Mainly forum posts mentioning the C&H plates.

Specifically C&H Acro plates?

Yes. I should clarify, I'm looking for torque specs for the actual mounting screw on the optic. Not specs for plate to slide

Per Aimpoint it’s 2.2 ft/lbs of torque which works out to 26.403544851141 in/lbs. I would not go off of anything that C&H puts out.
