15 inch pounds is to light for base mount screws and ring mount screws. Most should be torqued to 25 or 30 inch pounds. Ring half screws are usually spec'ed at 15 to 18 inch pounds and action screws anywhere from 25 to 65 inch pounds depending on if the action is bedded or not and manufacture of stock.
Hawkins Precision recommends 15 inch pounds on their hybrid rings. Came straight from the instructions. They require 25 inch pounds on the rings.
