    I don't but with the amount of time I seem to be zero-ing in my rifle I think I might need to start

    I always use blue thread lock on my rings and bases. Just a little insurance so things don't loosen off

    Loctite 222MS.... locks well but leaves fasteners relatively easy to remove.
    If an animal is going to die so that I might live, the least I can do is perform the unsavoury deed myself.

    I use thread locker on everything. Different kinds for different applications - consider thread size, type of metal, torque, and temperature range when selecting.

    Yes, I use it for scope base screws and sometimes trigger adjustment screws, not my scope rings though.

    Not only stay put, they come out without stripping and breaking when they'd otherwise seize from ten years of stress and rust.
