Was mounting steel Talley bases on my Whitworth in 375 and while tightening up the rear base, the screws both stripped out super easy. It was kind of disconcerting as I wasn't leaning on them, was just snugging them up. Looks like bottom 4 threads just stripped off. Emailed Talley and sure they will send replacements.
So if I put some blue loctite on them and just snug them up, will that be strong enough? To be honest, started looking at going to a peep sight on this rifle after this happened but really wanted a low power scope on it.
I guess another option is having them retapped with 8x40s. Thoughts?
