So I swapped a scope with new ringmounts but never had a base not perfectly fit the receiver before. Its properly torqued and wont come off but its a hunting rifle that will see temp extremes from summer to winter temps. Im wondering if water (rain etc.) gets in there and freezes thus expanding and contracting will compromise the mounting job?
Or am I overthinking this? Should I bed the rings to the receiver and with what?
