Rifle Scopes problems with rings?????????

[coulthard_west]

im running a us optics sn3 sitting in tps low rings.i also have uso's swivel bubble level, just setting the scene. yesterday and the local f class match i noticed that my scope was rotating inside the rings. im not sure how this is possible seeing that i have the rings tightened down pretty snug. im wondering if its the bubble level or the rings. any else had the problem who can give me a shout out? thanks

You can use feeler guages to check to see if the bottom of the scope's erector assembly is still parallel to the base.
I turn the cap screws on my TPS rings as tight as I comfortably can with the short end of a little torx wrench, and they've never slipped on me.
If the scope is slipping, it will usually move forward before twisting......

I noticed that my bubble level would "lift" or wasn't always perfect depending on how tight you attached it...

Is that the bubble level you gave me?

Do I need to be aware of anything special when I install it?
