Looking for quality torx screws…

[sooter76]

Not sure where the best sub to put this is, so I figure here is as good as any…

I’m looking for some quality torx screws for my scope base. I have an Area419 base on my Tikka and I have no complaints about their product. The torx screws that came with are a different matter. The first set was soft and stripped really easy. They were cool enough to send me some new ones but two of them had their heads sheared off under recoil. So at this point I’m not interested in asking them to send more. Can anyone recommend a place to get some good quality torx screws that aren’t soft and won’t shear off?

Thanks in advance.

I bought a kit of Leupolds, no issues so far.

Brownells or Leupold are all I've used. No issues with either. Brownells might be a better source for limiting $$$ spent by buying just the size you need.

McMaster carr. You'll get killed on shipping, but you'll get a high quality product fast.

Fwiw, I've also had a few area 419 torx screws strip out on Tikka rails. I don't worry much since they're also jb welded on...

I don't think McMaster has 6-48 torx. Is that not the current Tikka standard? 6-48 as opposed to the old 3.5mm?

I'll be darned. First thing I've ever known of them to not have.

Driver isn't important.

Thread and head style.

Torx are easily sourced for this app and I'd take them any day over anything else especially if you're one to use Loctite. FWIW McMaster doesn't have anything that will work in 6-48.
