[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 946673, member: 34084"] I've seen scopes slip in tactical rings. Some hard anodize coatings can be slippery. If the rings are properly aligned the ring marks on the scope tube are usually not deep. If your scope has gouges, the rings are not aligned. Either the rings are poorly made, or the base is bent. You should make sure the base is straight before installing a new scope. If you go with three rings, make darn sure they are aligned properly (all coaxial). If the base is not straight, or the rings are not machined well, three rings can but excessive stress on the scope tube. I don't think three rings are necessary. I developed RingTrue tape in part to prevent scopes from slipping on magnum rifles. For example, I'm using it with a Bushnell HDMR scope in two Seekins rings on a 50 BMG rifle. I shoot some heavy rounds on that rifle. No slipping or ring marks with the ring screws tightened to 25 in lbs.
