[QUOTE="Triple BB, post: 574576, member: 947"] I shoot a RUM 300 and stuck a 3x12 S&B scope on it. When I first started shooting it, I couldn't get it to group. I quickly realized the scope was moving in my Burris Signature rings. I pulled everything apart. After cleaning my Leupold dual dove tail rings and bases with the ring locked in place, I filled the underside portion with gel bedding glass and let it set up. After I reinstalled them I put the scope in place where it was originally sighted in. On the bottom of the top inserts I smeared a thin layer of 3M General Automotive Trim adhesive. I also used a Q-tip to put a bit on top of the scope and let it set according to the can's directions. I then put it back to together and tightened everything down and let it set up for several days. I put a barely noticeable pencil mark on the top of that heavy old scope at the ring so I could instantly tell if it was moving. It's never moved since. That was 10 years ago... [/QUOTE]
