I have a Nightforce nx8 in Hawkins ultralight rings on a .300 PRC. I'm having an issue with the scope moving forward from the recoil of firing. I've tried multiple times to remount it, degreasing everything, locktite on everything and torquing to 25 inch pounds every time. Even tried two different torque wrenches. I have ended up with the same result of the scope slowly moving forward each time i try to fix it. No ring screws or cross bolts are actually coming loose, the scope is just slipping inside the rings.
I feel like my only options left to make these rings work are lapping, bedding the scope in the rings, or going past the torque spec. I don't really want to do any of those things, and don't feel like I should have to. I'm leaning towards just trying a different set of rings. Top runners right now are ARC, Seekins, and Area 419.
Any recommendations on which rings to try, or thoughts on whether or not i should keep trying to make the Hawkins work would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
