ok, was checking just in case you were close to me so I could try to help in person. Maybe someone else is close to you. Anyway, "finger ring to rail mount" not sure what that is, I suspect your phone is correcting your typing and making it worst, maybe you had a typo.
Base to gun screws can be loctite but I would not advise to loctite rings screws. If you have a in/lbs (not ft/lbs) torque wrench will be helpful to make sure all the screws are up to torque. Loose scopes will mess up your shooting for sure...
