Which specific 'loctite' or similar product do you recommend for use with rifles, particularly for keeping the screws that secure the scope to the scope mount from loosening? When I do a search for loctite, I get dozens of different products. Also, where can I find this product online? |

Check out Autozone, I picked up a chapstick like loctite there and it has been a lot easier to put the fastener threads onto the stick than to clean up blue spots from the carpet. Blue Loctite Stick #37643 For the ordinary liquid stuff, there's no need to order it online. Readily available at any auto parts, hardware, or farm supply store. |
I bought some at Lowes, by the epoxy and wood glue. Don't use too much.. hehe *bad memories* |

Use the purple "wicking" Loctite. It holds screws when tightened down, but not so firm that you strip the head out if you try to remove it. Even the blue is a bit much for smaller screws. Had a friend buy the green once. He installed a scope mount and asked why he couldn't get the screws back out.
