Can I leave the scope attached to the rifle and do this? Or does it need to be unmounted so the lube will distribute better?

I've heard the free up with use one, but i've literally sat there for an hour turning it back and forward from 3x to 18x and it seemed to make very little difference. Maybe some.

Do I have the rings on too tight? That's another one i've heard.
