[QUOTE="ajvinyard, post: 2565362, member: 122824"] Harmonics affect more than just your group size, that is the reason most of us put blue Loctite on the scope base screws or they run the risk of coming loose. This is very common in the mechanical and industrial world and so they use lock washers, lock nuts, or Loctite, or even oversized fasteners that can be torqued tight enough to overcome the harmonics. They even see a non critical steel part crack just from vibration. Harmonics effects on fasteners can be a very difficult thing to overcome, you can try a non permanent form of Loctite and it should help. Sometimes you may want to change the screw if it has a screwdriver slot to an socket head or bottom head alan screw for removal later. [/QUOTE]
