loctite or somesuch for mounting scope?
My Weaver scope mount and rings recommends some sort of adhesive compound on the screws. So I went to Wally World and there are about 11ty million types. What do you recommend? And if Loctite, what kind of Loctite? Thanks.

i have used the loctite. not the one that is permanent. it think it is the one in the blue tube.cause if you decide to take it off all you have to do is just un screw the screws.
i use it on my williams peep sight on my marlin 1895M in 450marlin and they stay on tight. also have used them on williams peep sights on my old rem 7600's and rem 7400. |

Most of the loc-tite I have seen is either Red,Blue, or Green.I am pretty sure you want to use the red.I think the green is there forever.

I've got a tube that's blue and it's red locktite inside. Don't use red fluid locktite ! It's permanate, you will never get the screws out ever. Use blue medium strength, it says it on the tube.

Rhetoric,
Loctite makes a thread locker for screws under 1/4" dia.. I think it's called 222MS. Rem. 222 |

DON'T USE RED. I REPEAT, NO RED. BLUE ONLY. Red is also pretty permiant.

Yep use the blue. I have also used some of my wifes nail polish when I didnt have any loctite.

Definitely want the Blue liquid Loctite. I picked up mine at the Hunting Store.

I mount between 75 to 100 scopes a season for a local gunshop,use only Loctite Medium Strength (blue)or you'll be sorry if you ever want to remove the base for some reason...<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
