Never torque anything tight until the scope is aligned correctly just the way you want it. Slowly tighten every screw down evenly like you would when you mount a tire. Also please don't use loc-tite unless you just have to. A properly mounted scope with good accessories doesn't need it. I'm sure there are a few cases of a super-high caliber gun where it could be used. But otherwise leave it off, you'll save yourself a headache in the future.

Just some of the tips I've ran into when mounting scopes for customers.
