Loc-tite seems a little extreme but do what gives you confidence.
I use 30 inch/lbs. on the base screws and 15 inch/lbs on the cap screws. Never any problems with a dozen setup this way with Talley LW's. Good luck.

By the way, make sure you degrease the base mounting holes in the action and the screw threads for bases and cap screws. A little lacquer thinner works well.
