[QUOTE="gebhardt02, post: 1068939, member: 12695"] I also use JB Weld to bed scope bases with a small modification of the above linked video. I bed both front and back of the scope base, but torque the front action screws down tight. The JB then ensures I get complete contact with the action to scope base. I've done a few this way and there is always more JB in the front than I figured there should be which I figure is due to inconsistencies between the action and scope base manufacturers. After the JB has fully cured, and all excess trimmed up, I will also put some blue Loctite on the base screws as well as between the scope base and action. I'm basically using a low grade adhesive to give the base a little extra stick to the action. I have no idea if this helps or not, but it sure doesn't hurt anything. The Loctite is pretty thin and spreads out well, so no extra gaps or stress when tightening down the screws. Geb [/QUOTE]
