[QUOTE="Kiowa Cowboy, post: 2908516, member: 127211"] I recently purchased a Rem 700 in 308. The forwardmost scope base screw is stripped. I asked the previous owner about it. He said the other three screws will hold the base just fine. He is probably right. However, I was thinking that a simple fix might be to fill the hole with a dab of Marine Tex and install the screw with a release agent on the screw only. Is this a bad idea? Has anybody tried something like this before? TIA. [/QUOTE]
