After using the Savage Model 111 30-06 at the range this past weekend. Rifle came as package with a Nikon 3-9x40 BDC. The scope came loose from firing close to 3/4 of the box. I was able to turn the scope clockwise and vice versa bare hand with minimal force. This has happened before (last year), so this is the second time. I was using Winchester Soft Point 155gr both times when this happened. I regularly don't take this rifle to range.
I just recently read online about people using loctite. Well it showed up quite a few times. Is this required/does it really help? Is this a common thing or just the fact that I used 3/4 of a box? Won't be the first time either as usually I fire at least 12 rounds per trip.
The first time it happened I used a non-torque wrench to tighten the screws. Not sure if a torque wrench is a must tool to have.
This is my hunting rifle so I try not to take out much.
