Use rubber cement on both the top and bottom rings.
Rubber cement will squeeze out. Let it dry and rub it off with your finger.
This is a very, very old gunsmith trick; plus no scratched scopes.

I lap rings, and degrease the base screw holes and ring screw holes and torque all screws to spec. I’m guessing I’ve mounted 50 - 60 scopes and have not had one move. I’m shooting 300 win, 30/06, 7 mag and smaller cartridges.

The ultimate slip-proof, no-mar, no-lap scope ring is Burris Signature. Available in old standard Leupold/Redfield, Picatinny/Weaver and multiple heights.

Before rubber cement there was plain old rosin. It works, never got around to rubber cement.

Double stick Scotch tape will take care of your slippage problem.

Double stick Scotch tape will take care of your slippage problem. This- I've done this on several scopes and they never move. Just make sure you get your reticle perpendicular before clamping it down....
Never underestimate your ability to overestimate your ability.

+1 on rosin. It's one of the unsung heroes of the shop. I use it in my barrel vise every time plus it is a good casting flux.
