[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 121191, member: 1290"] I just tighten them up whenever I notice a loose one. I mount the rings over a cloose fitting socket in my vise. Then take a hammer and tap on outer ends of the bottom of the inverted pyramid if you will. This bends the ends up slightly and really tightens up the fit. Be careful or you will get them so tight you will need a cheater bar to twist them in. I really like to use Burris Signatures with Leupoold bases. The Burris bases are just too clunky looking for me. This way I still have a bit of horizontal adjustment if needed. I wish Leupold could make the Signature style rings. I usually use a 14" Cresent wrench to turn them in but a cloose fitting socket and a long extension makes a good tool for turning them in if they are really tight. [/QUOTE]
