Hello Everyone,


I recently have been working on long range target shooting with my .308 Savage Axis XP. I am seeking advice from shooters about what might be the best path forward for my system.

I purchased a Monstrum Picatinny Rail and after sending ~70 rounds down range I noticed a very slight wobble on the rail. I broke it down and I noticed two major things:

1. The screw second away from me/shooter had broke. (Obviously the vibrations/force broke the screw)
2. The marks on the rail from rubbing against the metal above the ejection port.

When I set up my system I followed torque specs for Monstrum Picatinny Rail.
I used Blue Loctite to ensure the screws wouldn't back out or move over time.
I also used a new screw for the two screws closest to me/shooter: Forster Slotted Oval .200" Diameter Head Screws 6-48 Blue - 1/4"

Just for reference, I was originally using the 1/8" screws but the vibrations were backing them out so I decided to try using a longer screw.

Any suggestions on how to set up my rail better or if there is a better solution?

Thanks for any help!
