[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 79711, member: 10"] Roy, Forgot to mention this but measure your scope tube where the rings contact and make sure it has not collapsed. If it has you will have a hell of a time getting any 1" ring to hold it solid. This is a common problem I see in the shop, especially with the old Weaver style rings, its very easy to crush a scope body a few thou and not really even know it. Check this out and see what she mics. Some scopes are on the small side anyway but if it is collapsed you will play hell getting it to sit still. Another trick if possible when using the Burris signature rings and one I have found is almost a nessesity when scoping heavy recoiling handguns. If you can set the front ring up so that the adjustment turret bell is adjusted directly behind the first ring, it will be mechanically locked in place and the signature composit insert will not damage the scope at all. This is not always possible in a rifle scope but it generally is in a handgun but its worth a try. this offers a mechanical stop for the scope to ride against, recoil lug if you will!! Have a great day, don;t give up the battle. I am sure the screen idea would probably work well!!
