Great write up. I need to start doing that to seal the screws. I clean the oil off but have questioned doing it as base and ring screws ALWAYS end up rusted on my rifles. Maybe the rust helps as a locker? wink


I'm a fan of Seekins rings. I especially like them with SWFA's because of the ease of lining the end of their etched symbol up with the white dot on the scope as seen in the pic below. So far it's been a quick and easy way to verify alignment with alternating the tightening of sides to opposite corners keeping even tension.
