Just ordered and received a new Nikon Prostaff 5 3.5-14x40 riflescope, Warne maxima 201m rings and a Warne M685M tactical steel one piece scope base for my Ruger American in .30-06. A couple of questions:
1) What is the likelihood that I will need to lap the rings?
2) What is the likelihood that I will need to bed the scope base?
I am replacing the factory two piece aluminum scope base with a steel one piece in hopes that everything will be more stable. Are there and potential pitfalls that I need to look out for? Should I use blue loctite on the threads for the scope base and rings, or just the base? Has anyone had any experience with these Warne products?
Thanks...
