[QUOTE="live2huntmt, post: 1883228, member: 75903"] While at the range yesterday I noticed my scope was loose. When I came home, I removed the scope and found both forward base screws broken off. I was able to remove them from the action, and replaced them with new ones. I torqued base screws to 20 in-lbs and put the scope back on. Back at the range today, after 15 shots, I noticed the scope base was loose again. Came home and found the 2nd from front screw sheared off and the other 3 all loose. Other than going up to #8-40, what else can I do? Also, what could be wrong that is causing this? Christensen Arms Ridgeline 300 RUM w/ Area 419 Hellfire brake Nightforce A295 rail Nightforce 6-screw ultralight rings Nightforce NX8 4-32x50[ATTACH type="full"]189069[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]189070[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
