I think the tape is designed to increase the surface area of contact. I don't think it's supposed to prevent the scope slipping under recoil, other than by increasing the contact area for friction. It acts more like a mortar filling the pores between two bricks.


Ah good point & fair enough...
I suspect given the angle (cant) the scope was set on, along with the eye relief (based on an average person) indicates whoever set up the scope isnt a shooter whos set up very many....not that im an expert by any stretch, but it was pretty rough.

I wondered if id have to slip in a beer can off-cut when i mounted new scope in case there wasnt enough grab, but there appears to be plenty of daylight between top & bottom ring halves on both front & rear.

I like the idea of tape in the rings for that idea... it is however completely impractical for final fluffing of setting the cant on the scope to zilcho.
