[QUOTE="slikmrc, post: 2189093, member: 116436"] I look at mount screws loosening up as a symptom of a larger problem. Heavier scopes and heavier recoiling rifles as well as lighter rifles definitely taxes the mounting system. I've used blue and red loctite in the past on base screws, never used it on ring screws. I have had a few heavy recoiling rifles tapped for #8 base screws and went to 6 screw rings, This has eliminated any need for thread locker for me. When I did use it I would clean the threads with a bottom hole tap. [/QUOTE]
