[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2012578, member: 10755"] I have my rails pinned and use blue or purple loktite on the screws. If the rail can move, even the slightest, it will come loose. If it gets loose enough, the screws will shear under recoil and the whole kit and kaboodle will fly off the receiver. I had this happen years ago, the scope was real heavy, 890 grams with rings and rail. It sheared the screws twice before I had it pinned, front and rear. No amount of torquing on those itty bitty screws was enough, I even had the receiver drilled/tapped to #8-40 and it still moved. The issue turned out to be misalignment with the bottom of the rail, replaced it and the problem never returned. Bedding it could have helped, but I just replaced it. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
