Gentlemen, I have a issue with a scope that loses center after rifle warms up. Its a nice scope (Nikkon Prostaff 3x9x40) Mounted on a Ar15 with a 20 in barrel. When I bought the scope I had the mounts installed onto the scope. I took that home and mounted onto my rifle, I didn't use lock-tite or any product like that. At the range the rifle starts to lose center, and when I check the mount screws are only snug, and I am sure they were tighter than that from the previous range visit. Should I be using something like Loctite Threadlocker Green or Blue. Any help ? Thanks for taking the time to read my thread.

I know I should have included pics, but the camera is at the girlfriends house and I cant get to it till next weekend.
