    Installing a scope one should think ahead a bit also. Saying so with an older and wiser ( hopefully ) mind than when younger.
    With scopes it's not at all unusual to want to change scopes one day or to a lesser degree remove a damaged scope for repairs / replacement.
    Sometimes with time rings screws either loosen themselves or become a bit bound into the threads and more difficult to unscrew. I have used Loctite which has been both good and bad as a solution. These days a good dab of grease on the screw threads seems to work. Seems effective in stopping screws backing out, holding them in position and making unscrewing at some point easier.
