Mounted a scope yesterday. Alignment bars indicated a slight misalignment, but I elected to now worry about it. Blue Loctite and torqued it all down to mfg specs and called it a day.
This morning, I started second guessing myself.
What say you all?
Below are picture of alignment bars from top, and from side. Was so minor that the picture was difficult to capture.
1. Take it off and lap the rings, or don't worry about it?
2. Any concern with clamping rings down a second time after shape of rings has changed?
3. If I decide to lap, should I reuse screws after breaking them out of Loctite, or should I get some new ones? #6 screws
Talley base into rem 700 style. Badger ordnance rings. Both base and rings aluminum. Leupold vx-5hd 3-15x44... I think like 21 oz scope.
