[QUOTE="Philward, post: 2845340, member: 92604"] I just tried this, total fail. I was bedding a 280 Rem Mtn rifle and while the action was setting up I thought why not do the scope rings to scope. I had some leftover JB weld that was still pliable. Waxed up the scope and smeared JB in the bottom rings, set in place, and tightened down the top rings. Excess squeezed out and I cleaned it up. Then I was worried that I might damage the scope trying to get it out so I tried to remove when I thought it had setup enough, figuring the wax would let it release without issue. It pulled the JB apart when I got it out so put it back in. After things set up I couldn't get the scope out until I was removing the action with a few raps with a striking device and the scope pops loose. JB was stuck to the scope and the rings. Had to scrape it all off. [/QUOTE]
