[QUOTE="DaveTN, post: 5740006, member: 3052"] You can do that. I mounted scopes, as I'm sure others did, for years without a Torque wrench. But if something moves, it's because it wasn't tightened properly, wasn't assembled properly, or just wasn't a quality component. Quality screws that are the proper size and tightened to the proper torque don't need Loctite. If you have a scope come loose, you have a problem that Loctite probably won't fix. By "quality" I don't necessarily mean expensive. If you are looking at something Leupold or Vortex put their name on, it's probably good. Nothing wrong with a budget rifle. Taking a deer at 100 yards or less doesn't require much. A lot of guys do that without a scope. If you need help properly mounting a scope, ask, and someone around you will probably offer to help.
