I saw on the Leupold site that they don't recommend putting Loctite on your mounts...........anyone know why??
What do you guys do? Just about every gunsmith I have seen uses blue Loctite.
Does anyone Loctite their rings as well?

I RED Loctite my bases, but NEVER my ring caps. I swap scopes and rings around way too much to think of doing that.

If you switch scopes around it becomes a pain but for a base that will be on long term its a good thing.

I blue loctite bases - to provide a very light bedding, seal out moisture and maybe help keep it from moving, although with a one-piece base like the Seekins with a recoil lug, I'm not worried about that so much.

Screws for the bases only. Of course, some of it seeps into the surface between the two. |

Just the screws for the bases. Ever hopeful I'm going to win the lotto and put good scopes on all my rifles.

I blue loc-tite my bases, rings, and action screws cause I don't want them to move.
They all seem to loosen fine when desired.

Blue on the bases. Nothing on the rings. I move scopes too much.
