Then ensuring that the scope doesn't twist, tighten the ring screws. 18in-lbs is what I generally do.


If you use loc tite and torque them to spec you will over tighten them because it acts as a lubricant. Torque specs are always given in dry torque.




What would the torque reduction be for blue Loctite as a lubricant? Looks like for many oils it's 30-40%, 35-45% for lithium grease, 45-55% for graphite? Where does Loctite fall in that viscosity spectrum?
