How tight are you getting them?
And use blue!
I just had a Win 70 in that had red on the action screws. I took the simple route. Milled the heads off the screws.
I have shot rifles for 60 years. Refinished, restocked, glass bedded, and not glassed, all sorts of stocks. Never loctited one of them. Just made sure the screws were clean and fit as they need to be. And I even hand torqued them. Never had a problem. Rifles were mostly 721, 722, old model 70s, a few Sako and Mausers too.Red or Blue? Any ideas or suggestions. My 338 shoots loose every season from a Winchester 70 Winlite; pillar bedded with McMillian-Winchester factory stock. This model is about 17 years old.
Thanks,
Blue, and clean all threads very well prior to applying the locite.Red or Blue? Any ideas or suggestions. My 338 shoots loose every season from a Winchester 70 Winlite; pillar bedded with McMillian-Winchester factory stock. This model is about 17 years old.

Exactly. Red can be a bear to get out without heat.Blue should do it.
I was wondering about this, any idea how long does it last?Make sure the blue is fresh and not 10 year old stuff it will break your heart don't ask me how I know
I had some stuff that was at least 10 years old and set up two rifles with it last year used the blue and torqued to spec . I made a few range trips and the 308 and 6.5 were shooting lights out ! Fast forward a few hundred rounds the groups were the size of a pie plate The scopes became suspect both were Meoptas . I removed the scopes and were going to swap with some Zeiss scopes I had in the safe . I figured while they were off I would check the scope bases and low and behold both were barely hand tight . I purchased some new blue and cleaned all the old crap off reapplied and torqued and voila back in business . The one trip I burned about two boxes of each caliber more like wasted even thought I lost my skills lol.I was wondering about this, any idea how long does it last?
