Winny SX2 Burris FF2 base

[NothingLeFT]

I purchased a Burris Fastfire 2 and I have not mounted it yet because I dont have a base. I need to buy a base that will go on the winchester super X 2. I want a low base and i dont want to go with the weaver style base. Does anyone by any chance know which base i could buy? Thanks all.

Most guys are having the receiver drilled and tapped for the Marlin mount.

Sounds good, but how can i tell if my receiver is alloy, im still in learning :/ i heard that the screws will loosen up if its aluminum alloy?? is this true?

Red Locktite goes a long way in alloy.

If for some reason you decide you want to remove the sight and the screws don't want to budge, put a soldering iron right in the center of the screw for a bit and it will come right out.  You can usually back them out even without heat.  I would much rather them be very tight and stay put than risk it with blue or none at all.  I tried a FF with none at all on my first and it backed the screws right off after several shots.

I think you meant to say "blue loctite" and not the red.  The red is considered permanent if I remember correctly. 

NL, that's the first I've heard of screws backing out of aluminum alloy receivers.  I'm not saying that it's incorrect only that I hadn't heard that.

A buddy of mine was told the same thing about the X2 that he would have issues with the screws and the alloy receiver
