[QUOTE="Buck Fever, post: 1883364, member: 113501"] If you rough the bottom of your scope rail and use mold release on your receiver, you can get your rail bedding to stick to your rail and not the receiver. If you use a one piece rail, the recoil forces will be better distributed among the four screws. Also, when you torque the rings on the base, you should push forward on both the front and rear rings so that both rings are actually resisting the recoil force. Lastly, some screws are better than others. If none of that solves the problem, start looking for a rail that has a recoil lug which takes the shear force off the screws. [/QUOTE]
