Why does your scope on your gun keep tilting?

Answer 1

The screws fastening the scope ring mounts on to the scope may be loose.

To find out if screws loose:

Grasp scope.

Attempt to turn lightly. If scope does not turn, screws sufficiently tight to hold scope securely. Nothing more needed to do

If scope does turn, screws not tight enough to hold scope in place.

To remedy this:

1.look at the space between scope ring halves: the space should be even on both sides and for the front and back rings

loosen or tighten screws to make slots even

2.level firearm

3.level scope

4.lightly tighten screws 1/8 turn at a time using fingertip pressure only

scope may rotate to one side when screws are tightened. To find out if this is happening look through scope to see if reticule still level.

5. Scope level

using fingertip pressure tighten screws until screws do not move anymore.

6.Scope reticule rotated

loosen all screws until scope just moves

rotate scope the same amount moved in the opposite direction
