Remington 700 Police LTR .308 Custom Upgraded Sniper Rifle

Is there anything special I should know about installing a new scope on my 30-06 Remington 700??
I just bought a new scope to replace my cheap one I bought when I first bought this rifle. Is there anything special I should know about mounting it in regards to the rings and base? I plan to use the same Leupold rings and base from before, should I just buy new ones? I had the gun shop do it for me when I purchased the rifle but I bought a new scope and boresight laser and want to learn how to do it myself. It shouldn't be that hard right?? Any tips would be appreciated.
I would...
Remove the old scope
Install the new scope using a touch of blue thread locker in the screws in the rings.
Tighten the screws just enough that you can insure the reticles are in line and are vertical and horizontal.
Then torque them down.
Bore site your rifle
Then fine tune it for the range you want to shoot at
Make sure that your spent rounds will not hit the scope when you extract them.
Make sure you set the scope far enough forward or back in the rings to make it comfortable.
Happy shooting...
