I do for foot pounds, not inch pounds.

I don't think my 1/2" drive automotive torque wrench is what you are looking for.

If it is, your welcome to borrow it.

I think you are looking for this guy.

@LuckySG i believe has one.

Just devide foot lbs by 12 to get inch lbs...

I have one for in-lbs and even oz-in.
I'm by St Vinnies. If you want to meet at Sportsman's Warehouse on 185th, glad to loan it to you.

Oh Oh...
Doesn't that make you an unlicensed Gunsmith by proxy.
The ATF will make up something and come after you.

I have one of those and it's perfect for scope mounting. Especially with the collection of bits that I have amassed.

I have a 3/4" drive TR that goes up to >600ft/lbs.... it's almost 4' long and I use it on high-pressure steam pipe flange bolts, but I'm sure it'll be more than enough for a scope.

I'd be happy to do it for you. But I don't use a torque wrench. I do it by "feel". When I sent my scope back to vortex with the mount the tech told me the specs were good to go. When you work as a mechanic, you kinda just get used to how much is "just right". Ask @v0lcom13sn0w

yep my hands come stock with torque wrenches installed

i trust them enough to torque down bolts on a transmission valvebody. havent let me down yet.

i do actually use a wrench on critical bolts like head bolts, main bolts, rod bolts.

[v0lcom13sn0w]

You torque by hand .... I'm sure those are skills y'all developed during "alone time" as teenaged boys.
