I back off the recommended torque values by 5 % when I use thread locker. Torque values are determined using clean, dry screws. When thread locker is added to threads it acts a lubricant and can cause over-torquing, which can lead to premature fatigue or failure.
Problem solved...get the Arisaka Optic Leveler from Brownells. Everything else is a waste of time and guess work. www.brownells.com/gunsmith-tools-supplies/sight-scope-installation-tools/scope-reticle-levelers/optic-leveler-prod75317.aspx
Scope mounted too high. I have mounted scopes for 40 years. I use blue thread sealer Loctite or Wheeler purple on EVERY screw. The High Comb Rollover is a proper configuration of a rifle stock with a PALM SWELL. Old timers will remember the Roberts High Comb Rollover with Palm Swell out of Sandy Oregon. I'll

Yeah thats what vortex said on their instructions
Really good point.
Good advice. Applying some kind of a lubricant to fasteners when tightening is called 'wet torque', versus no lubricant, aka 'dry torque'.
Please make a video on centering the reticle, that has always been my biggest problem. Thanks for the mounting video.
Use the leveling system from Wheeler Engineering. So, so, so slick.

You should use a cloth when cleaning. "Do not" use a Q-tip it can leave fibers in the screw holes.
wich baseplate fits this gun? doesn't matter if its pica tinny or base plates.
nice presentation thanks i got some practice to get to
Why is the scope mounted so high? Am I missing something?
Sounds like 38 special in the beginning, “caught up in you”
dude needs a couple band aids
So how much elbow grease is 15 to 20 inch pounds?
Just torque that hoe till your face turns red or till the screw gets loosey goosey
