This is my first, is the scope rail which was already mounted good to go or is it better if disassembled and remounted with blue loctite and re torqued down. Thanks for the help.
 
Clean screws and screw holes with a degrease or alcohol, something to cut the oil. Apply a thread locker. I've been shooting origins for years, no issues yet with this practice.

Yep, this has always been my routine for mounting bases, do you know what the recommended torque for the screws are?

Zermatt told me 20-30 inch pounds over the phone several years ago, I go 30 on my fixit stocks, plus just a lil more by hand. I usually go just a tad over spec on all rifles, no issues. Just heat the screw with a torch prior to removal to break the thread lock bond.
