Mike V,
I watched my friend Walter Grass do this many times. You have to fit the rings to the scope and bases,bore sight the scope(held to the rifle in the rings by a chord), scribe witness marks on the scope tube/objective bell,take the scope apart carefully( wrap lenses, etc in tissue and store carefully)remount the scope in the rings(this time held by soft iron wire, such as "tie wire")lined up with witness marks and the ring/scope joint wiped with paste solder(combo flux/solder particles),heat rings/scope tube with a torch until solder flows,add solder from solder wire if necessary. Let everything cool,clean excess solder off, polish, blue. Send reblued tube and stored parts to scope specialist for reassembly.Note, this is only for steel scope.Epoxy might hold an alu. scope,but I doubt it. I only saw alu scope mounted in full rings or rail.
I have photos, but am too dumb to post them.
Mike
