Is it good to use loctite when shooting moose with a .223? What bullets would you use?
Now I spit my beer out. This morning was coffe.Is it good to use loctite when shooting moose with a .223? What bullets would you use?
Exactly!! You keep doing you and I'll keep doing me. Never told anyone not to do anything just pointing out how I do it. Also I was responding to the guy that posted this originally. I understand if it works for you keep doing it. If I encountered a problem throughout the years with loose rings I would've changed the way I do things.
Like somehow taking an extra step as a precaution is dangerous advice.Really? Don't give the kid the wrong info. I've been hunting over 40 years and in my state we use slug guns and muzzleloaders. Their recoil energy make a 300 win mag look like a .243. Guess what I've never had a scope vibrate loose. My trophy room can verify if you'd like. Loctite all bases and lightly oil your ring screws.
Ok already lighten up lol. Here we go again, Ugh! I made a recommendation and someone pretty much said don't do it his way. Why not just say that may work for him but this is the way I do it. You sure this is a pro 2A site. Cause some of you guys are acting like lefty's.Like somehow taking an extra step as a precaution is dangerous advice.
Here's Warne Mountain Tech 30mm rings on a 7lb hunt ready weight ultralight muzzleloader. Recoil energy is a stout 46 ftlbs. I set that up the same way over 10 years ago 25 inlbs on the 4 cap screws each ring and 65 inlbs in the base clamp nut. Still shoots lights out. No loctite on the rings. View attachment 702238
That's 10 years worth of hunting hard? Seriously??I hunt hard so my equipment takes a beating.
Didn’t age well.I'm done on to the next.

Do you Loctite the action screws? How about spark plugs? No, because it’s not needed. Loctite whatever you want, but it’s as silly as bead lock rims to drive down forest service roads.Like somehow taking an extra step as a precaution is dangerous advice.
Action screws yes, spark plugs no, that’s insane.Do you Loctite the action screws? How about spark plugs? No, because it’s not needed. Loctite whatever you want, but it’s as silly as bead lock rims to drive down forest service roads.
Nothing on the rifle is as easy to re torque as the ring screws - this concept is ridiculously easy to test for yourself by simply checking the ring torque on every rifle you own to see if they have loosened up. They never do - it’s not a thing.
Which screws? Bases, rings?PS - blue thread locker for the win...I had 1 scope come loose that was degreased and torqued to spec a few years ago.
both get thredlocker.Which screws? Bases, rings?
Thanks. I read on some forum that loose ring screws aren’t a thing.both

Only on the left wheels.Bead lock rims?
Never had a failure even though I've never used loctiteJust wondering if using blue loctite on the ring bases is necessary? Was told recently by a gunsmith it's not recommended.
Would you give it a rest , lol. GO GET LAID ALREADY and leave the LOCTITE home. ROAL reaper LOL. Grow up! U still must be in High School.To confirm my post earlier.... we definitely have ROAL Reaper 2.0 in this thread.
We have multiple rifle photos, wet screws and dry screws, hanging whitetail, some weird red rubber thingy...and just when we thought we would never see another ROAL reaper...gotta love rokslide.

From the guy who turned this thread into his own “look at me” shit show. Take your own advice already for Christ’s sake.Would you give it a rest , lol. GO GET LAID ALREADY and leave the LOCTITE home. ROAL reaper LOL. Grow up! U still must be in High School.
Not so I never went after anyone here remember that but I'll be dammed if I'll let anyone get away with that shit. Give respect get respect. How i grew up. This post was about giving advice to someone that needed it. I didn't take it here.From the guy who turned this thread into his own “look at me” shit show. Take your own already for Christ’s sake.
