Good Job! Feels great doesn't it? FYI Burris who makes scopes, rings, and bases; recommends not using locktite and instead a drop of oil on the screws for the bases. Sounds counter-intuitive I know but it actually works. That said, enough people use locktite successfully so no worries with either. There is a new type of locktite, penetrating, which is potentially lighter than Purple.
Depending on your torque wrench, in/pounds can be tricky with large plus/minus range. Sometimes you need to factor in the error so you avoid overtorqueing things allergic to excessive compression.
Expensive Scopes for example.
Congrats!
