I was once told that when I mount a scope base down to put some grease under it to help prevent rust.
Can anyone put some truth to this? I dont want to cause more harm that good.
I have a little marine grade grease (waterproof kind) should I smear it to the top of the receiver and bottom side of the scope base?
I know to keep the screw holes cleaned if I was to go this route.
I plan on mounting (3) scopes tomorrow, (2) stainless 10/22 (I know it wont rust but never hurts to protect it) then a blued 30.06 (actually a Rem. 700)
I am most concerned about the Rem 700 because the bluing is not the best to begin with, or so I read.
