| Just the mount bolts/screws dovetail mounts and scope rings or them AND the scope adjusters? |

| I don't think you would want to put thread locker on the scope adjustments themselves, only on the mounting bolts. While you can break the blue, your scope might not like it. |

Put a very conservative drop... if even a drop.
I'd only do it on half of the bolts (if your mounts have 4 per ring, 8 total). Staggering it. I feel it is unnecessary, being I've never had a problem with a scope on a magnum springer, let alone a Diana 34. Not sure what you're mounting this scope on...
As I said before, if loc-tite or a similar product will help, be sure to use sparingly. NEVER use red loctite, this stuff only comes off with HEAT. Green might be a bit better if you have the time to try it out. Green is designed to be a "light" hold, blue "medium" and red "removal is not an option". |

| Mounting bolts only. And I second Fritz's assertion to use it sparingly - just enough to wet the threads. |
