Do you use thread locker (low strength) when mounting scope bases with torx screws? Years ago when you purchased a scope base it came with slot head screws for mounting and I always would use thread locker. If I’m not mistaken when torch screws appeared on the scene it was advised to actually lubricate the screws because you could apply greater torque and therefore tighten the screw beyond that of slot head screws. To confess I still used thread locker which also acted as a lubricant. Also most used firearms I purchased and removed the scope bases they also had thread locker applied to their torx screws. Lately I’ve had a change of mind about using thread locker on torx screws for mounting scope bases. What do you do?
