POF P-308 rail system problems

At the range today w/ my P-308 and it was shooting somewhat erratically.
I thought is was me until I got home and pulled it out of the case and things seemed a little too loose. I quickly realized that the rail had become loose. The POF rail is not part of the receiver, so when it is loose, the scope is moving all over the place. No wonder my poi seemed to be shifting. I think that their rail system sucks. It wasn't straight when I got the gun and now it comes loose. They tried too hard with this one. A receiver with an integrated rail is a much better system. Besides this issue, the rifle is great. It is accurate and perfectly reliable (with the right mags). The piston system consists of only 2 pieces.

Anyway- I guess that I will loctite the rail bolts down and hope for the best.
