While at the range yesterday I noticed my scope was loose. When I came home, I removed the scope and found both forward base screws broken off. I was able to remove them from the action, and replaced them with new ones. I torqued base screws to 20 in-lbs and put the scope back on. Back at the range today, after 15 shots, I noticed the scope base was loose again. Came home and found the 2nd from front screw sheared off and the other 3 all loose. Other than going up to #8-40, what else can I do? Also, what could be wrong that is causing this?
