    So, back from the range, rings not gripping scope well.

    After a few shots I notices my rings were slipping back on the scope. So I got home took them off and the contact was just in a few spots, no harm to the scope.

    Soooooo I took some 10mil VHB 3M double face tape and put a bit between the scope and rings (upper and lower) to fill in any gaps or ? and to give it better grip. Well I had to rearrange the scope a few times and I can tell you that tape holds, no comparison between the way the mount held before the tape for sure. Going out tomorrow to see if she moves.

    I think standard procedure is to put a card shim on the top and bottom ring and tighten her up. Some guys I used to know did this and their scopes never moved !

    The rings were the rings that I bought with the Pilgrim Arms 4x16 scope I have, and yes they were buckled down tight before shooting today!

    Like I said, I will give it a go tomorrow.
