Proper torque. No locktite. No rosin. Spuhr has never let me down
I have 6 Spuhr mounts, they recommend using Rosin, so I figured it was cheap insurance. Never had a single scope move, besides one that I forgot to torque down after assembly
. I use blue loctite on the screws also, per their recommendation.
I use Rosin on all of my scope mounting regardless of manufacturer. It’s cheap and for a little extra piece of mind. Why not? Saying that, my Spuhr mount is so well machined that I just don’t see how anything would move in it. I also use blue Loctite. Using the proper torque as supplied from the scope manufacturer, I have never had a scope move in about 30 years.
I got 2 of Spuhr mounts, torque to speck loctite on base screws only and no rosin. never had a problem in a comp rifle and caliber
I'm aware of the instructions from Sphur
Some of you may want to go reread what Sphur actually says about Rosin and Loctite use.
Did you clean the screws because they are waxed.
I'm pretty sure there's a few armors here that could give some real world input.

If your scope rings need fucking rosin to hold a scope in place either you have shit rings or you have no business mounting scopes yourself.
see this kind of response is useless. Doesnt help anyone.
I believe Hakan recommended a little bit of rosin on his mounts in the instructions? There is nothing wrong using it! Just use the fine ground stuff.
My NXS walks in my Nightforce rings which were torqued to spec that was mounted on my .50 BMG. I guess I must not know what I am doing and Nightforce must be shit
Used a small bit of fine ground rosin and no more issues. Just sayingWhy do I always see this idiot being a complete worthless jackass on a weekly basis with dickhead replies like this thinking he is hot shit, and never once in any of them has he made a good point or proved he knows 1 thing about precision shooting. You’re a complete clown and are no doubt a trash shooter who plays a tough guy online.
Don’t mind him, he’s a complete clown and knows nothing, I’m thinking little man syndrome. The owner of spuhr literally said to me himself that not only do they recommend rosin, but they advise to use blue loctite aswell, otherwise its common for screws to come loose. That came directly from the owner himself, but apparently a wannabe cosplaying pirate tough guy knows better
While I am not against the use of rosin or loctite, I have never needed it on any of my SPUHR mounts. I currently own 7 SPUHR mounts and have them on various rifles from 6.5 to .50 and I have not had any issues. If I do, I will try the rosin and/or loctite.
That's some high quality shit. But what would I know I've been mfg shit far more expensive ounce for ounce than anything Spuhr makes.
^^^^^
I use SPUHR and ARC and have never done anything but torque to specs. No movement even on a 338LM
After having a scope in a different type of mount come loose during a bench rest competition (which was torqued to spec), I made it a habit to clean all of my mounting hardware prior to use with acetone, then apply a dab of blue loctite to guarantee that won’t happen again.
Again, per Spuhr’s recommendation, I use a small amount of rosin.
You can either take the recommendation of the guy who designs and manufactures these mounts, or take the advice of random guys on the internet with unknown credentials.

So right at the 43 second mark of your video he states "you don't have to bed a scope and you don't have to use rosin". He said he likes to use rosin because he likes overkill but it's not needed.
He also does not say to use loctite, he says don't clean the screws before use. If you clean them, you need to lubricate them with oil or loctite.

some internet tough guys who think they know it all and think they know a product better than the owner of said product will claim the owner is wrong and they’re right and will try and bully and put down people in posts. Must be liberals..
I prefer overkill too, which is why I spend $450 on a Spuhr mount vs $89 on a set of rings that’ll likely hold up just fine.
Cleaning & loctiting the hardware is something that I’ve decided to do on my own after having loose screws take me out of a competition like mentioned. Using the loctite as a lubricant is what he recommends if cleaned, and in my opinion is just another form of insurance.
Do you understand a torque sequence?
I don't THINK you really know what you're saying.
To be honest Jimmy, I'd say you're asking because you DON'T know.
EDIT- you properly torqued all your screws and within minutes they all losen up?
Get the fuck outa here that is hilarious
Nice post count, maybe you should try Dear Abby.
The guy that said that has more time around here than you do and might have learned something buy reading that vast depository of knowledge here.
Again,stop with your bullshit internet videos.
That guy,the owner literally rewrote the game on mountings and how to maintain them.
Go to Sphur and start reading.
Screws stay torqued if you do it right and don't fuck with the screws.
learn this

Are you saying you have something of value to add? Because you’re just calling well respected members clowns, you clown lmao
I have only ever used anything other than proper torgue values with one exception.
A 300WM that seemed beat the crap out of anything that was screwed, glued or nailed to it.
I suspect reciever flex was the culprit but a 8.5 pound 300wm will beat the shit oou

A bag of powdered rosin costs a couple bucks and will last forever. I've never owned a Spuhr, but when I've mounted scopes in Badger rings I've wiped a thin layer on prior to dropping the scope in. Stuff is so sticky the scope won't move even without the ring caps on.
May not be needed, but also costs pretty much nothing and gives some added insurance.

For the life of me, I don’t understand why everyone’s panties are getting in a wad. If you want to use rosin or locktite or not, who cares? I just use it because it’s cheap insurance and I tend to over do every thing. That’s just my personality. And what does it hurt exactly besides your feelings? And whoever thinks Spuhr rings are junk must be just on another level.
I'm a belts and braces kinda guy, so I go for epoxy in under the rings, epoxy on the screws an usually do a couple of blobs of tig for heavy recoiling rifles.
Once had my scope come clean off under recoil at a match, so find can't be too secure!

That may work...but maybe add a little rosin just in case and make sure you have them torqued down properly.
For sure.
I only use Mil scopes so bought myself a Newton Meter torque wrench.
18nm on all ring screws does the trick.
From the manual
"For normal use (including most military, law enforcement, and civilian use) we recommend using a small amount of powdered rosin between the scope and thescope rings. Powdered rosin is a very good gripping agent thatprevents the scope from moving, it is also very easy to remove using some rubbing alcohol.All mount screws are waxed from the factory. Customers working in extreme conditions may want to degrease the screws and screw holes and use Loctite 243 Blue instead"
However on my 3 I have simply torqued them down to spec with no issues

who knew this thread would blow up. I guess this is a very passionate subject!
Thanks @Langford for giving me the info I needed.
My scope mount looked like scarface's table by the time I was done

Yep. I have a bag of rosin from when I shot Bullseye in the 80's and 90's!
Exactly, use rosin and/or Loctite... or don't. Each person gets to decide.
The reason this thread blew up is because someone is implying that you HAVE to use them, or your Spuhr won't hold.
Next thing you know, there will be a thread implying AI bolts are soft.
BL, the Hide isn't immune to misinformation...but it does jump in immediately to squash it. And then if we're lucky, people stuck on transmit will be offended and get emotional.
Both guys a bitching are new...I give them a month. They'll fall into line or give up lol
Next poster to post not on topic will not be posting again for a while.
