Scope Mounting Trick?

[Pookee]

Any way to keep the scope from moving with the heavy recoil associated with the heavy recoil of silhouette shooting?
I thought of maybe wrapping a layer of electrical tape before I put the rings on.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Pookee

There shouldn't be all that much "heavy recoil" associated with silhouette just moderate recoil.  Good rings and mounts always work fine in my experience.  If your rings are slightly too large stone the mating surfaces a little at a time to improve the situation but careful not to take too much.

Another trick that works is to cut a few strips of 600 grit wet/dry sand paper to place in the ring halves.  The strips should be slightly narrower than the rings and when placed in the ring half radius, slightly shorter than the ring half.  Place one on bottom and one on top with the grit side towards the ring.  The paper backing will provide a good friction fit.  Some ring I have gotten actually come with some friction paper to do this very same thing.  I can't remember which rings they were but I think they were burris.  Hope this helps

Electrical tape is the wrong type to use it is to smooth and slippery, go to the hardware store and get yourself some real friction tape. It will work just as good as sand paper and will not hurt the scope.
