10 Spot Terminator

I just recently put together my 10/22 project using a new action, a Magnum Research stainless lined carbon tension barrel, and a Shooters Ridge thumbhole composit stock. I mounted a Weaver style picatiny scope mount plate and topped it off with a fine Millet Buck Gold varmit/target scope . The barrel was just getting dialed in when the crosshairs in the scope rotated appx. 1/4 turn inside the tube ... maybe 300 rounds fired when this happened. I boxed up the scope and sent it back to Bushnell who now owns Millet and proceeded to mount a spare Simmons 3x9 .22 mag scope on the gun to shoot while my scope is hopefully being repaired and take a guess what happened ,,, thats right ! Broke the damn crosshairs . I know I have read that .22 recoil is different than larger centerfire recoil as it is a double tap rear to front recoil vs. a heavier rearward only recoil but I have seen dozens of forums where guys are using rifle scopes, not .22 scopes on the Rugers with no mention of scope damage . Is a bolt buffer the answer here or what ? My dream of an ultimate plinker is turning out to be a NIGHTMARE !!!!!
