[QUOTE="Ingwe, post: 1040072, member: 35101"] Hello Fellas, I posted before that I stripped-out a reciever screw, so I had the holes re-threaded to the larger 8x40 screws, however the front screw still seems stripped...it catches a bit and then spins. The other 3 are perfect and the scope base is torqued to 25lbs. Regarding the stripped screw, I mixed a batch of Devcon 10110 and filled the hole with it....I then placed the screw into the hole and tightened it just until it caught a bit and left it at that. In your experience (and lets assume the worst and say that the Devcon screw/repair isn't tight) will 3 torqued screws provide enough strength to securely hold the scope in place, or is that 4th screw a must. It's a 7mmRemMag. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
