Other than stripping screws, scope rings don't generally wear out. If the rings are the right size, (like 1" for a 1" tube scope) and they have been properly installed, you shouldn't have a problem with the scope slipping.
You didn't mention what type of rings or rifle you were using. Rings & mounts aren't overly expensive anyways. If you suspect a problem with the mounts, just go buy another set that you will have more faith in. Weaver bases and Burris Z rings are a good solid combo.

When you mounted your scope in the rings, did you degrease the rings first?
Most have a light film of oil, if they're steel.
