So, I'm not imagining things?I certainly agree with you about the scope "rolling" as you snug down the old Weaver hook and two screw rings. I still like them a lot. The lightest, strongest, least cluttered looking rings in my mind and the price is right too. One additional trick I use is one the smith that built my 7x57 showed me. He kept a Bull Durham ball of powdered rosin on hand and dusted a bit of rosin in the bottoms of the rings for the added tacky "bite" to prevent the scope from moving. So to this day, I rosin scopes if I am using bare naked rings.
I use the Burris signature Zee rings a lot now that I started playing silly long range games with .22's and cast loads so I can fiddle with adding elevation to my scopes. I use 20 MOA bases on three of my rifles and play with the Zee ring inserts for fine tuning.
I like the rosin idea and had forgotten. I wonder if a fella could still buy that stuff or if it's gon the way of asbestos and talcum powder. OK, just being a cynical, grouch there...
If the two sets I have coming don't do for me what I want, I'll look at the Burris Zee rings next. They were high on my list when I was scoping CZs, yet I never ended up using them. Ironically, I found the DIP base that allows the use of Weaver rings, until I sprung for a set of "Hunker" rings from Calhoun. Even those seem a bit bulky for the 527s, but there are fewer pieces/parts, less complexity with that setup.
