You should not use oil when mounting a scope base. You actually want to clean and remove and oil and residue off the receiver. Also,it is safe to use red lock tight. It will actually hold better.
Next time spread the oil on the bottom of the rail, not directly on the receiver top. Getting oil into the threads in the receiver defeats the thread locker, methinks.
Hey just saw this channel. I cant believe you dont have more subscribers! Your production quality is amazing for a starter channel. I (TheCheapShot ) suck but i like making videos. I subscribed if you dont mind returning the favor. Id love to talk to you about your video quality see if i can learn something. Have a great day and thank you for the proper install procedure. I just ordered a one piece long action scope mount for my '53 Rem. 721.
I have my dad‘s .270 and the screws are insanely small. It looks like it was from the 80s. How I find how do I find out what kind of rail put on top? These four screws seem impossibly small for a Picatinny rail.
I use red on everything. It’s not permanent. You won’t break screws. It just doesn’t vibrate loose as easy and blue. Blue is damn near useless for most things on guns
I'm attaching an url that gives a good breakdown, so for you have all the explanation for you; vs me writing a really long explanation reply. warnescopemounts.com/20moa-explained/ Bottom line: The 20 MOA bases are to give you more elevation, within the turrets of your scope, for long range shooting. This is shooting beyond 600 yards. At some point you won't have anymore elevation to turn within your turret if you had a 0 MOA base at long distance shooting. For your height question, 20 MOA will not affect your ring heights on most bolt action rifles. The best rule of thumb for rings are "the lower, the better." Most all bolt action rifles will hold a 20 MOA base with low rings. Now some of your AR's and other types of rifles might call for a mid to high ring, but not always. What system are you building? How far out are you wanting to shoot out to? Now on a "10 MOA down in the front and 10 MOA up in the back", I'm not completely familiar with how all companies build theirs but they would have to take into account making too small of a height for a base that wouldn't hold most scopes and force the objective lense into the barrel. There are standard heights that bases are built and I would assume 95% of companies would keep the front at the same height and raise the back 20 MOA. Personally, I have never seen a base get lower in the front to allow for assisting the 20 MOA result.

Bongo, thanks for the feedback. I've never had this be an issue before but you make a good point to be cautious of.

I have always wondered if you can use Orange Lock-tite? What say ye?
I take it it's in inch pounds? You did not say

I’ve used blue loctite on Glock front sights for years and its never failed.
0 or 20 moa sir?
Heretic, I used a 20 MOA rail.
@@SFActual how much does that affect the scope ring height?
All 20 moa in the back or 10 up in the back down in front?
