Threadlocker for Scope Rings

[Tiger1358]

Just got a new Savage 111 Trophy Hunter XP in 300 WM with Nikon prostaff scope. I kinda don't trust those aluminum rings that came with it and wanna put some threadlocker on the screws to make sure they don't get loose. I know a lot of people are using Loctite Blue for it, but I was wondering if any non-permanent medium strengths threadlocker would work on it.

Properly tightened screws don't need loctite.

Properly tightened screws don't need loctite.

Those rings are aluminum rings that came with the gun and I have heard a few people complaining about those rings getting loose and plus it's 300 Win Mag, so there's gonna be a lotta vibration.

Never bur lock tight on rings, Just get a torque wrench for them and go

I have that same gun and scope and rings and just made sure they were tightened properly and ive not had an issue in 6 years

There are better rings you can buy for cheap that are of better quality replacing what you have is the first thing I would do.
and yes any medium or light strength thread locker will work. blue or purple and you only need a drop.

After shooting about 3 boxes of ammo through my .300 and having my rings come loose, I put blue loc-tite on mine as well.

not true. I have had properly torqued rings vibrate loose on my 300 wm. Took 250 rounds but they will loosen ,never had a problem with blue loc-tire and a proper torque together
