Hello,
I just bought a Marlin 980V bolt action in .22 to work on my off hand shooting. For those of you not familiar with it, it is a heavy barrel bolt action with a pretty much full sized stock. I suspect that it is a lot more accurate than I am, but I am having a problem with the scope slipping forward.
I bought a Simmons scope intended for .22's. It clamps onto the grooves in the receiver, with big finger tightenable screws. I have it tightened down pretty good, but the scope still slides forward after I have been shooting for a while. Not too much, but annoying. The scope is not moving in the rings, the rings are sliding on the receiver.
Any suggestions on how to keep this from happening? I would prefer not to weld/solder/or JB Weld the rings in place.
Thanks for any help!
Regards,
Hammerhead
