[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1883557, member: 2736"] This is not uncommon with light weight , hard recoiling rifles with heavy scopes. Two fixes that I use are to increase the size of the screws or use a Scope base with a recoil lug or set screw to take the recoil, Near Manufacturing calls it his Pro lug. Others have a set screw that go's in at an angle and contacts the front of the ejection port to relieve the screws of the recoil. Leupold makes some good steel bases with different screw sizes for different actions and all that Is needed is to tap out the small screw holes the 8's or 10's. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
