[QUOTE="Silverdoctor, post: 890178, member: 32300"] I am mounting a new long range scope on a Savage 116, 300 Win. Mag. for my son. The question I have is: should I put any adhesive between the bases and the barrel? When I removed the old scope, there was residue from an adhesive a gunsmith had apparently placed between the mounts and stainless steel barrel. I do use Lock Tite blue on the mount screws, but is it helpful to use a drop or two between the barrel and the mounts? Also, how important is it to lap modern rings? Does it really make a difference? Thanks, Silverdoctor [/QUOTE]
