[QUOTE="Elkhunter18, post: 1508419, member: 107403"] Hey folks, I just purchased a Sako A7 RoughTech Stainless, Leupold VX3 and Talley one piece alloy rings. I purchased a Wheeler scope mount kit, bore sighting kit and plan on installing the scope myself. The rifle has previously had a scope mounted with locktite. What would you guys recommend cleaning the screw holes on the receiver, screws and bottom of scope bases with prior to installing with blue locktite 242? I was thinking of using isopropyl “rubbing” alcohol. Then let dry for 5 minutes, apply locktite 242 to screw threads and install bases. I do not plan on cleaning or applying locktite to the top rings as they do not go in my rifle receiver. Should I apply some oil around the cleaner screw holes to prevent. Rust under the scope mount bases? Your advice would be greatly appreciated. I plan on using the alignment tools on the rings to ensure they are perfectly in line. I have been told the Talley rings do not need hand lapping, so using the alignment tools should prove this. Thank you again. I appreciate the help in advance. [/QUOTE]
