[QUOTE="LaHunter, post: 1884736, member: 54963"] Prepping the screws, screw holes, and contact surfaces before installation is important. I have used acetone or alcohol to clean / degrease everything. The screw holes can be a little stubborn at coming clean. Q-Tips can be useful. The contact surfaces need to be 100% clean and dry, no oil. I personally prefer a 1 piece pic rail vs a two piece base system, especially on magnums, but that is just my personal preference. I have this with a 5-20X56 NF SHV (29 oz) w/ NF rings on my unbraked 7mm rem mag, so not quite the level of magnum as the RUMs, but a significant recoil. The blue Loctite can help keep the screws in place and not working loose. Do you have a torque wrench? What are you torqueing the base screws to? Maybe call NF CS and see what they say, they have been helpful every time I have called them Good Luck [/QUOTE]
