there is a color coding scheme to loc-tite

using loc-tite properly is NOT for the unitiated,

Re: Scope assistence requested

Joe,
STOP OVER-REACTING
the reason for lapping scope rings after they are installed is to prevent any tweaking/warpage of the scope tube in final configuration.
Lapping rings is easier than falling off a rock.
If you are not doing it, you are not serious about accuracy.

Low power fixed scope.
Learn to shoot it long and short, both eyes open.
Fixed scope will be lighter, more rugged.
