I am new to this forum and you all have already helped me with advice as to something to put on the inside of my scope rings to keep it from inching forward on my Benjamin Trail Nitro Piston 2 air rifle. The suggestion I am going to try (waiting on replacement rifle) is double sided mounting tape. Double sided carpet tape was mentioned but I am concerned with difficulty in getting the scope off of the rifle later. Now my question is this, please: if I have applied the tape to the inside of the rings and as I lower the scope down onto the lower halves of the ring, and the scope comes into contact with the sticky tape, how do you manage to level the scope, which is normally done by rotating the scope within the loosely tightened rings before tightening down for the final time? I really could use this final bit of advice because I really need to try something besides counting on the screws to hold a scope in place that is subject to strong recoil. Thanks guys.
