    gp 100 scope mount.

    I have a 357 gp 100 ruger. I bought the scope mount for it when i got the gun to put a red dot on it. worked fairly well for the red dot.

    but when i put a scope on i had problems with the screws working loose that held the base on.

    thought about using loctite 242 blue (the one for breaking loose with handtools). just afraid to do that . anybody had similiar problems with this mount and how did you fix it.

    A freind of mine had the same problem
    He ended up drilling out the holes and using a larger size cap screw and a locking nuts
    He also got a extra front sight
    He drilled a hole thru the mount and front sight
    He then used a cap screw there also

    He never had a problem after that


    But IMO if he would have shot sain loads , he might not have needed to


    His starting loads , were max with a small rifle primer

    thanks john. I shoot typically about a grain and a half under. I think i will leave this gun the way the factory made it and shoot the irons.

    always thought it was a pretty cheasy mount design.

    BRU, what length barrel on your GP? What base are you using? I have a 6" GP100 and use the full length weaver base made by B-square with a red dot. You do have to remove the sights to put it on. I haven't had it long and haven't shot any heavy loads in it yet, but it seems to be a pretty solid setup.
    As far as blue loc-tite, I have used it on a number of mounts, screws, etc. with good results. No problem breaking them loose with a screwdriver when I needed to change something.

    The Hunter model SBH in 41 Mag is a very accurate gun, you'll like it if you get one.
