Scope mounts

I have completed my frozen scope, and after lots of trial and error, I
have it mounted in fixed rings. Its now 3/4 of an inch below the mothball
at 100 yds. and centered. There are no adjustments anywhere
beyond shimming the rings.
This is mounted on a panda, in 6 ppc. The rings are similiar to
Kelbly's , but a little bigger and 1'' of bearing surface.probably
twice the weight in aluminum. These rings are also bedded.
This gun shoots well, and is my test bed for this scope and mount
experiment.
As stout as this whole thing is, very small changes in screw tension
on the top caps, can move the point of impact, I would never have
believed it.
 
The info about the screw tension is very interesting, Bob.
Does this mean you are gearing to try and give me a whoopin' at Hormtown?

Bob,
You didn't specify your scope tube diameter, but if it is 1", it might be interesting to do a test with 30mm rings and compressed rubber.

This was a weaver 36, now with glass recticle. The rings are Bored
oversize to facillitate bedding and for future experiments with
rubber, neopreme. They are made thick enough to accomodate
adjustments if I decide to do that
 
Scope mounting

After reading the prior post on ring tension I tried some changes today. Using Kelbly mounts I was amazed by the change in impact by either changing the tension of the screw that secures the bases or in changing the tension on the rings themselves.
I finished up by making sure everything was very snug but not over tightened. Should be interesting to see further results.
 
Wonder if anyone has tried

using a single mounting point arngement on centerfire rifles like the one Bill Calfee has been working with on rimfires? Wonder if they would stand up to HBR recoil?

In 3 days of shooting, my frozen scope has not changed point of
impact. Another gun that I've been shooting side by side with
the frozen scoped gun did change P.O.I.
