** URGENT ** Question Re: Scope Spinning ...

[anorthernhunter]

So I go out to the range a month ago. Sight in my .308 Savage bolt and 3X9 scope.

Hitting 3 within an inch at 100 yds consistently ... mounts to the gun - tight check.

Start loading up my gear for the weekend and shoulder my gun just for fun in the basement to look through the scope ...

The cross hairs are crooked!!!!

What???!!!???

I grab the scope and it spins within the rings ...

I get an allen wrench, make sure the horizontal hairs are horizontal and tighten it.

So here's my question, if the mount is tight to the gun and it was shooting accurate but the scope spins (with significant effort) ... once tightened ...

Can I assume accuracy?

I will of course put a few shells trough it but hate the thought of doing it during hunting time given I have been meticulous (except for checking the allen bolts on my scope) with this trip.

Any thoughts?
