Mounting scope bases - 09/01/14
I have noticed that some recomend degreasing the rifles reciever and the scope bases.then a little Loctite 242 on screws.
I have also seen that some recomend lightly oiling the bases and the rifles reciever.Some even put oil on screws !
Seems like 2 entirely different methods .
I have always degreased and used a little Loctite or fingernail polish BUT I have noticed some rust under the Bases.
On the one hand I want a good secure mounting of the bases
On the other I dont want rust
Which method do you use ?And why?
Thanks
