[QUOTE="MNBuck, post: 1100068, member: 91217"] Ok so I went to the place I bought it at, cabin fever sporting goods out of Vitoria, MN. Although we have done business with them for many years they were non hesitant about cycling out my gun based on my concerns. They also agreed that the rings had come loose. They took the scope out of the rings and the rings off the mounts. They already applied the locktite to the screws on the mounts that thread into the receiver. But none of the other screws. So, they then applied blue locktite to the remaining screws. After that they checked vertical alighnment and re bore sighted. Then they tightened the two action screws up to firm snug. The screws for the scope on the other hand where all torqued down to 20 in lbs. the reason they didn't do a specific inch pound rating on the actions screws is because they didn't have the proper size bit for it. Also, they did NOT put locktite on the action screws. I don't know if this is good or bad. All I know is that I can start fresh and don't have to worry about the scope coming loose and then can narrow it down to myself or the ammo. [/QUOTE]
