I was shooting today and my recoil block fell off, I tightened everything and then after another 30/40 pellets the scope slide back 3/4"+ and the block is off again... any ideas how to eliminate this problem would be greatly appreciated

My Titan had...and still have alot of recoil....but luckily the scope mount have not experienced the problem that you have. Did your air rifle come with a one-piece mount? If it came with a two piece mount I would suggest you buy a one piece one.....something with 4 or more mount screws.
Important to clean off any lubrication/oil on and in the mount rails.....use cleaning alcohol to do this. I applied blue Loc-Tite on the mount and scope ring screws and let it cure for over 24 hours before shooting. I did this and both the block, mount and the scope have never moved. Use a pencil to mark the receiver where the mount start and ends.....that way you can keep an eye on it after every shot. Hope this helps.

that is exacty what I was thinking but wasn't sure it was a good idea or not... Red loc-tite probaby wouldn't be good as it is too strong! lol
-
DO NOT USE RED LOC-TITE......I think they're permanent. If you use that...you'll probably need touse a flame (Blow torch) to loosenthe bolts/screws to remove them the next time!!!!

I was kidding about the red loc-tite, I use tLoc-tite products everyday at work! I was also thinking I could use clear nail polish, it would work the same. I just don't know if the tensile strength would be good enough to handle that kind of recoil! another question is could I not just use a "cross bolt" style end block for the scope stop, something like a SHCS (Socket Head Cap Screw) with a nut on the end? it would give plenty of tightening strength!

My Titan came with the "hammerli" scope as a combo. I think it threw the scope stop off within 5 shots, no matter how tight I had it. Took everything off and cleaned the rail (which I should have done the first time, and the cheapo scope mounts have stayed in place ever since..
