[QUOTE="ken snyder, post: 581733, member: 26019"] The only reason a scope will slip in the rings is because the ring diameter is the same or larger than the scope tube diameter. If the scope is used and with its release agent it will be slightly larger than the tube diameter. This produces a bushing bearing, great for a motor with a spinning shaft. The friction that holds a scope in position is a product of pressure not of surface area. When economy is at stake use an old scope that is slightly smaller or a machined tube that is slightly smaller than your intended scopes tube diameter for bedding. Even then there is a lot more to it than simply throwing some JB weld on it. I never have seen something actually get fixed by screwing it up! Compound the friction and use less torque! [/QUOTE]
