guys I keep having the problem of the rings sliding towards the front with shot after shot. After about a dozen shots, the front ring is coming off the edge towards the front of the mount. The ring mount screws are as tight as humanly possible. Am I missing something? and why did they design the mount with the .22lr size base?

I do not have that problem with mine, Mark. I bought a fairly cheap set of European sized rings that were measured in millimeters. It is a hair off from the 3/8 size .22 rings. I just moved and most of my stuff is in storage or I would try to find the receipt and let you know which ones. I think they are 11mm.

First off, it sounds like you may have rings that do not clamp properly. If you don't want to replace your rings you can install a recoil stop. See pic. It's the allean head bolt sticking up.
There's also a thread about this issue over on Swissrifles.com. Took me a while to find it. p083.ezboard.com/ftheswissriflesdotcommessageboardfrm8.showMessage?topicID=3415.topic

Just a quick question. sorry if it's off topic.....
Now that I finally have my own K31 on it's way, and having crappy eyesight like I do, I kind of like this option. But does the scope being off set to one side like that give anyone any problems with getting zero ? Looks like a long way to adjust over. I'll check out that thread as well but I just wondered what sizes/types of scopes you guys used on yours ? |

You can zero windage and elevation of the scope at a given distance so the POI is the POA. Or, since the offset is only something like .75" (3/4 of an inch), you just zero the elevation for your preferred distance and the windage to .75" at all distances (as some do). |

some cant the rifle clockwise till the scope is vertical over the bore and shoot that way (with the crosshairs vertical when the rifle is in that position) I hear it gives a better cheek weld.
You could also get a set of diopters that mount on the StMarie and shoot with very fine apertures. The dipters do not sit offset. |
