I pulled the stock of my 110 to paint and noticed the bolts were very lose very lose.
The bolts holding the rail were also lose.
I am thinking about add some blue lock tight and torque them to a specific number.
Good or bad idea?

Bugs-
Same for your mounts. When I see shotgun patterns occur, torque is the first thing I check.
BTW- after getting a rifle back from manufacturer or outside repair, check the torque on everything to make sure it is to your liking. Without really disparaging any company that might have its service center in Kansas City, I got a .22lr back with front torque at 12 in/lbs and the rear hand tightened.
The only thing I use locktite on, every time, is the rail. Beyond that If I have a problem with a screw repeatedly backing out, maybe I will hit that one, otherwise I don't use it on anything else.
Just my .02 but loctite on ring and base screws only.
I've been a gun nut for a minute or two and never had action screws loosen upon their own under normal use of a rifle.
for that reason I would suspect either they weren't tight enough to begin with, or they are the wrong screws, or stripped, or damaged threads.
Not to say it's "impossible", I've just never had it happen.
A good wife and a steady job has ruined many a great hunter.
I've never had action screws work loose, but recently I have started putting a dab of blue Loctite on them just as some added insurance. I usually tighten them around 40 inch pounds, and will play with different amounts of torque to look for accuracy changes.
