I use blue loc-tite on all my rings...
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.
“In common with”..... not so much!!

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.

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  :twocents:


How do you like the gun ? How's the accuracy?

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
