I was wondering just how much did the OP "sand" the inside of the rings ?? A little goes a long ways

Get some rings that fit correctly and you won't need the home remedies I lapped rings when it was all the rage and that increases the contact area between the scope tube and the rings. More area, more friction, and the better it holds. Rosin increases friction and is a lot easier, and faster so unless I have problem rings I got out of the habit of lapping. How 'bout that, made Indian Head Shellac and didn't even know it. Have a jar of powdered rosin that holds about 4, maybe 5, ounces. Lifetime supply right there. And handy for other even non-gun stuff that slips a little. Including baseballs.

I called the scope company which sent some friction tape... Problem cured. By the way, they said to never exceed 22 lbs on the ring screws.

The scope tube has a hard and slippery finish. All scopes have a hard, slippery finish, and it's obvious these rings are too loose

Let me guess... You are one of the web warriors that has to get the last word in no matter what.
I have several scopes that have a rough, matte finish from the manufacturer.

Plain old "rubber cement" works just as well and easier than the other things suggested.
And yes, lots of scopes in the past had high gloss slippery finishes. A proper set of rings won't slip, even without any "gripper" added.

This or a light coat of 3M Spray Adheasive like Buehler used to use (I was told it was a light duty rubber cement).

I have tried most of the things listed and have settled on a toothpick dab of gorilla glue- top and bottom.

No, though you insist on not listening to what is being said here, your rings are not fitting correctly, or else they would not slip. I use the exact same rings that you are speaking of, and I would in no way consider them a high-quality ring as far as fit/finish. They do what I want in a specific situation at a low price point, but that is with the addition of something to add "grip."

But, But , But......They're TACTICAL rings They have to be special (Although he did feel a need to sand them and add metal powder, which most likely is acting as a lubricant)
