I put a good scope on a 338 Wim mag, and after about 40 shots the cross hairs are tilting to the right. what can I do to stop this? the rings are Millet angle lock and they are tight! The scope is a LEUPOLD. The screws are still tight too! Live every day like it was your last, because someday it will be!!! | ||

Lap the rings, or a light dusting with powdered rosin. I heard of guys using what they referred to as "liquid electrical tape", but have never tried it myself. If the rings are in alignment the rosin ought to do it. | |||

I had a burris do that but the reticle was moving not the scope body. | |||

liquid electrical tape, i never heard it called that. it does hold scopes without cruching force thats for sure, just a little spot on the inside of the scope rings is all it takes. what is really nice, it doesn't harm the scope finish and cleans up with mineral spirits. i use scotchkote electrical coating part number 054007-14853. the can i have is probaly ten years old. | |||

I can vouch for this too. I bought a little tube of it and it's lasted for years. | |||

Millet rings typically come with paper tape inserts for the rings. Sometimes I need to use them and sometimes I don't. PA Bear Hunter, NRA Benefactor | |||

This! put an index from your scope onto the ring (like some nail polish or whiteout) to show that it isnt moving, I bet the reticle keeps going around | |||

If the scope body was rotating the turrets will be moving. Easy to tell if it's the scope body or the reticle.
