[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 548665, member: 22335"] Having used those rings in many rifles I'm surprised that you're getting slipping. I'm assuming (just checking) that you're using the correct inserts with each other, i.e. 0 with 0 or -5 with +5? I found on my 629 that I was getting the rear windage screws to loosen up and not the ring screws. An alternative is to torque the ring screws to spec but use a bit of Loctite on them, assuming it's loosening of these screws that is causing your problem. Threadlocker Blue 242 is what I'd look at. If it is the plastic inserts not holding the scope then I'd go back to paragraph #1 - double check your inserts. Whenever I install them there is usually 1/16" gap or more on one end of the inserts such that you can see that they don't quite meet. And, I've never had the ends of the rings (top to bottom) meet each other. If either one of these is occurring I'd suspect something is wrong. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
