Hey folks, I currently own a marlin 795 with a simmons 3-9x 32mm .22Mag scope, but the thing is scope rings moves backwards a bit after 100 rds or so. So I'm looking for some type of mount to fix the issue and I have no clue what to buy and where to buy.


Thanks, Matt

Try cleaning the dovetail groves to remove excess oil / grease.
 
Or get BKL mounts. BKL ships to Canada, or try D&L Airgun in BC. These clamp pretty good and good reviews at RimfireCentral.com crowd.
 
How tight are you torqueing down the screws on your current rings, are are they loosening and need locktite, or staying tight and just sliding?

What kind of rings are they? If they are just cheapo aluminum ebay rings, try getting a set of steel rings like weaver, burris, etc. You can tighten them down a bit tighter and not strip anything, or like Cole said, try to slightly roughen the surface where they attach and they shouldn't slide as much.

They're pretty much cheapo aluminium and I don't want to tight them too tight so they break, but i'll tight them a bit more to see.

If you are often setting up scopes and such a torque screwdriver is a good investment, lets you tighten without worrying about overdoing it and stripping things.
