[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 1036169, member: 34084"] I see this from time to time even with machined tactical rings. Sometimes the rings are misaligned, which reduces the effective contact area between the scope and rings. Other times it appears to be a low coefficient of friction between the ring and scope tube anodize surface treatments. If the rings are misaligned the problem could be the base or the rings. If the base isn't bedded, do so. Apply only minimal torque (<3 in lbs) during epoxy set to insure the base is not being stressed. If the rings aren't lapped, I strongly recommend that you do so. The gouges in the scope tube suggest to me the rings have some high spots. Lastly, I recommend RingTrue tape. I developed it specifically to address these types of problems and it works very well. Now I use it all the time [URL]http://www.highpoweroptics.com/ringtrue™-tape-three-scopes-p-24944.html[/URL]as insurance. [/QUOTE]
