[QUOTE="Lionel Boyd Johnson, post: 2318564, member: 110111"] I experienced a sudden loss of zero on a very light 7-08 with a Leupold VX3, 3.5-10X in Talley mounts. Found three of the four mounting screws sheared off. The screws were those supplied by Talley with the mounts, installed with low strength (small screw) Locktite. After getting the broken off ends out of the receiver, I remounted using new screws from Brownells, ground to proper length. I have not had a problem since. My gunsmith told me he never uses Locktite, but does always use a torque screw driver. [/QUOTE]
