just curious what do y'all torque the base and rings to on big boomers?


On heavy kickers, I put a small drop of Loctite in each of the holes before I put the screw in. That may or may not be what you're supposed to do, but like I said, all my scopes stay in place.


There is some risk associated with putting Loctite in the screw holes. The Loctite can fill the hole and prevent the screw from fully seating. Its best to apply a small amount (I use a toothpick) to the side of the screw. Additionally, cleaning the screws and the holes is very important. Flushing with alcohol or gun scrubber prior to the Loctite removes oil residue etc.
