[QUOTE="LeddSlinger, post: 1097378, member: 65338"] So you checked the top screws on the rings....always add a mild thread locker such as your wire's nail polish so they stay tight. I also always hand lap and bed my rings with JB Weld for maximum contact and non-slip hold on heavy recoiling rifles. Did you bother to check the torque of the base screws or the bottom nut on the cross bolt of the rings? i torque mine to about 60 in lbs. and again, apply something mild like nail polish to help hold the threads. Also check to make sure you have and adequate amount of thread engagement with the action screws. I've seen problems in magnums when the front action screw was only holding on by one or two threads. Other than that, try a new scope like the other fella stated. [/QUOTE]
