Would think a thread locker like loctite should do the trick. Use purple 222 loctite for screws up to 1/4". Be careful to not let any excess drip where it shouldn't go. Doesn't take much.

I tried that. No luck. A 30-06 and a 338 both shot loose every 30-40 rounds even after I torqued the screws in repeatedly.
