I have a beaman S1, scoped in a solid mount with a BSA 3x9x40 ao, rated for magnum springers. The mount is a 3/4 to weaver conversion, with quality rings. It is rock solid.
Today, my son and I were plinking in the backyard, and after 50-75 rounds, the barrel got away from me on the cocking stroke. It did not slam all the way closed, and I did not hear any metal to metal nastiness, but it did flip away pretty snappily.
Next shot was easily 10" off the mark at 30'. I re-zeroed the scope, it worked for a round or two, and now the zero is again shifting. The mounts are tight as a vault.
Did I break some action mounting point or something? Everything feels tight. Won't hold a7" circle at 30' now.
