Help! My scope rings are slipping.

[Z400ACDC]

Could someone reccomend a set of rings that won't break the bank for my 22mag Marlin 883. My scope is a Mueller 4.5-14x40AO.

Is the scope slipping in the rings or are the rings slipping on the mount?

Scope slipping

Have you thought about having the .22 drilled and tapped for standard bases?

 

[TCman]

If you are using the .22 sized rail, and the rings are sliding along the base, try some super glue between them. Ive heard it works well. Or maybe some loctite.

The rings are slipping in the dovetail groves.

Loctite in the groove isn't a bad idea.

If that doesn't do it, you could try a scope stop: http://www.pyramydair.com/a/Accesso...els_and_scope_stops/Levels_and_scope_stops/66

I scoped my K31 Schmidt Rubin using the Swiss Products Clamp-On scope mount. That uses a 3/8 dovetail rail - same as a 22.

I bought the cheapest rings I could - went to Big 5 and got the Barska rings for $9.99. They have stayed completely secure, even with shooting the 7.5x55 Swiss. They may work for you ...

The 3/8 dovetail used on 22's is smaller than the 11mm dovetail used on most air rifles. They are close enough that it shouldn't matter, but I would check to make sure you have 3/8 rings not 11mm rings.

Both Leupold and Burris make rings for 1" scopes on 22 rifles that clamp onto the tip-off scope mount grooves.

Thanks!
I bought a set of Millet highs from Brownells this morning.
