worked at the range today for a couple hours. It started to rain ,so the party was called off. I had put a scope on my .44SBH and decided to sight it in.What the heck, I HUNT in the rain so...! Any way the shots were NOT going where I thought they should. The scope is a Leupold 2x and very clear. It worked great on another gun last time I used it. After fiddling with the dials a FEW times I noticed the front ring was against the adjustment housing. I fired the remaining rounds in disgust. As I fired the last round the gun FELT wrong. I looked it over carefully and didn't see any thing. I looked at my target again thru the scope, the cross hairs had moved a good bit. The horizontal hair was tilted down on the left. I THOUGHT I had tightened the rings as much as possible.

I used automotive silicone on the rings to keep the scope in postion on my 444 Marlin 14" Contender. Let it cure a couple days before using and the scope never moved again.
