I am installing a Ziess Conquest scope onto my Tikka T3 light .243
I purchased a one-piece DNZ Gamereaper mount and I found online instructions from the manufacture that states the following....
*DO NOT USE any type of thread locker on our mounts. It is not needed with our 5/8 long ring screws. It will void the lifetime warranty. It is not needed on our mounts. Do not return if any type of thread locker has been used
Here is a link to the website where these instructions are located

The online instructions only mention the longer ring screws, and not the screws for attaching the base of the mount to the rifle. It sounds to me that any loctite used will void warranty although I am not too concerned with it braking and more with the scope coming loose in the field, which leads to my question....
Can I just torque the base screws down and not worry about my scope mount loosening? Or should I use some purple or blue loctite? (I will not be using loctite on the ring screws)
For those of you who have this mount on your rifle, did you use loctite to secure the base?
