[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1514247, member: 8873"] Had this happen 3 years back on an out of state elk hunt, blue loktite on mine. Cost me a cow @ what should have been a gimme 540 yards. I take great care in mounting my optics; cleaning, torquing and what-not. In this case a Nightforce base torqued @ the manufacturer’s 25 inch pound specs. Since then it’s had 8-40 screws installed and it happened again. Now it requires a torch to remove. The scope would also slip and I had to add a third ring. It wears a lighter scope now and that alleviated that problem. [/QUOTE]
