Like I had posted earlier concerning my Storm xt and trouble with scope....I filed the bottom of the ring mounts to better fit the groove,,this was with the rings that came with gun...theangle of the tiny bit that fits into the groove was just a wee bit off. So, I git a good sharp file and re-cut the bottomprat on the rings to change the angle and to make it just a very bit thinner. when I got done, I checked and found that after filing, that re=worked edge fit into the grooves a LOT better. Put it back together and have had no trouble with it about 1,200 rounds shot through it since the fix  |

Maybe the rings that came with your Storm are from the same batch as mine were.....the thin little edge that's supposed to fit in the grooves of the rifle were too thick and were cut at a wrong angle..Get a REALL bright flashlight and have a THOROUGH look at yours....hope this helps! |

 Well, since my last post, I had a dream  . I dreamed i was shooting my Storm with the scope mounted and the scope stayed secured. In my dream I had gone out and purchased longer bolts for the top mount, giving me more "bite"/torque. Well, when I woke up, I hurried on down to HOME DEPOT and bought some 4mmX12mm bolts to replace the 4mmX10mm bolts that came with the one-piece mount. I replaced all the bolts with the longer ones and, I think I have the winning ticket with it. The top part of the mount came almost all the down and, the are all even. Whereas before I had a heck of an opening. I'm allowing the loctite to set up. I feel really good about it but, I won't know anything til I've shot a couple hundred rounds thru her. Since the great Mike Iaconneli grew up 10 miles from me, I have to quote him... "NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!"  |

Yeah, I did a little research and, it seems that I'm not alone having scope issues with this rifle:
