Soo today i noticed my scope is sliding, im using vortex crossfire 3-9x40 with nikko stirling 11mm mounts mounted on hatsan edge, anyone know what to do ??
3rd time trying to post this. Soo i went out trying to zero in my scope with new pellets and i noticed my scope is moving inside rings and mounts moving on rail, already cleaned it with alcohol still moving, any suggestions, should i like remove that tape and try it without it or should i like put electric tape, or should i put alcohol and mount it right away without letting it dry. Vortex support told me to try removing that tape cuse there shouldnt be anything between mount and scope... Currently using vortex crossfire mounted on nikko stirling high mounts 11mm
Can't hurt to take that tape off the Nikko mounts since not a clue what they use. If you still want tape, 3M makes what they call friction tape that works quite well.2nd: safe and easy way to use a set of 2 piece mounts on the rifle is to use the front set of scope stop plate screw holes. -Mount the plate with the rounded edge facing forward and tighten it down-Now take the scope ring you want on the front, set the back edge of that ring snug against the edge of the scope stop plate and tighten the ring down-Loose mount the rear ring so you can slide it back and forth and get it and the scope set where you want them, put the ring caps and screws in loosely, then tighten all screws checking while you do that the scope stays where you want it.With that scope stop plate mounted how I described, that front ring now can't move and your rings stay put. Should look like this picture of mine only with both screws in the stop plate:
