Installing a vortex venom on my shotgun and wondering if I should or shouldn't use any color locktite on the two screws that mount the venom to the base.

I don't and have never had a problem, but I do use a torque driver.

I did. Just felt more comfortable. I didnt want to over tighten anything in fear of stripping something out.

I always use blue loctite. Screws are easily removed and you do away with that, "Oh man, the screws came loose on my sight and I didn't know it until..."

Just mounted a FF3 using blue loctite for both the mount to the receiver and the sight to the mount.

Does anyone else wish the mounts were steel instead of aluminum? I guess the light weight is nice but 12# of torque just doesn't seem like much.

I can tell you from experience and $50 wasted that aluminum mounts for the vortex Venom will bend under very little pressure and not fit the Venom.

I guess I got lucky. I put good amount of guess torque on mine with no issues.

I use the special purple locktite made especially for the smaller screws, and torque my screws to 14 pounds, but that's on a FFII and FFIII, so not sure if the Vortex base takes more or less torque.
