[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 930106, member: 34084"] I have not had any problems with scopes slipping in Signature Rings, even with magnum rifle calibers. I always use a torque wrench. I've noticed that the ring inserts "relax" a bit during the first 10-15 min after first tightening the ring screws. I always re-tighten the screws after waiting 15 min or so. The .020" offset inserts come in matched pairs, with one being .020" thicker, and the other .020" thinner, than nominal. In your case, you want to put the thick insert in the bottom of the rear ring, and in the top of the front ring. I always center the reticle and use a boresight collimator to check ring axis alignment relative to bore axis at the muzzle. Sometimes I rotate the inserts a bit to correct for a small windage error in ring alignment to the bore. [/QUOTE]
