Took my SBH Bisley Hunter out to the range yesterday to take a couple of verification shots prior to the regular firearms opener here in PA. 6 shots all on the mark. The gun was dialed in so I put it back in the case and left.
Getting things packed up today to head out for my hunting ground I noticed that the Weigand scope rail seems to have slid forward so the screws are now only halfway grabbing into the ring cutouts on the barrel. My sharpie alignment marks also show a forward shift of about 1/8".
All mount screws were torqued per the Weigand mounting instructions and locktite applied.
When I removed the rail, the bottom of the mount looks identical to the pics in this thread

The roll pins have elongated the holes in the mount and are now sitting with a rearward slant. I haven't removed the rings and red dot yet, but being that I have the same rings as Iron Mike Golf I would expect to see the same issue.
The gun sees a steady diet of 300+ gr top end loads but nothing that is above published limits.
Anybody other than Iron Mike seen a failure like this?
