Default 460 XVR scope problems

Any one seen the utube vidioes of scopes flying off the 460 and .50 cal smith and wessons ?
Id like to mount a leopold but dont want to get beat up by my scope at the range. Any suggestions or time tested setups on these weaver style mounts and rings.

I have a 460smith performance model. I know the issue was with the XCR. They did have issues of shearing off the base screws, but I know several people with them that got it fixed, thru S&W and have hundreds of rounds without issue.

I wonder if gave them higher grade screws for the bases and rings, BTW do you know how to swap the front sight the hi viz it came with is not very visable.

My uncle had this exact problem with his, he thought it was the scope, but it was the base screws.

My Cousin has the .460 XCR and mounted a Leopold scope on it and has had absolutley no issues with it. The scope that he got was one that was recomended by the store. It wasnt a cheapy by any means and apparently there are I think only 3 scopes that S&W recomends using on the 460. The scope he bout was $325.00
