I used JB Weld on the lower rings. It is supposed to have metal in it. The rings still hold the scope by the clamping effect of the top rings. The epoxy is only supposed to fill in the gaps. I cleaned the bottom halves of the rings with solvent and waxed the scope so the epoxy should stick to the rings but not the scope. With the rings tightened fully onto the gun I applied the epoxy to the rings, set the scope in place, and barely tightened the top rings into place just to hold the scope in place. After the epoxy cured I tightened the top ring screws fully.
