You clean the screw holes, top of the action and the rail with 90 percent alcohol and let it dry. Then coat the action with shoe polish I used jb weld placed on the rail. It dosent take much and dont place to much around the screw holes. Place the rail on the action and use 5 pounds of torque on the screws. as it drys you can trim the excess epoxy off with a razor knife. Before it drys completely remove the rail and clean the action and the screws, set the rail aside and allow it the dry all night. You can install it the next day torqued to your rail manufactures specifications. This eliminates any binding on your scope.
