Blue Locktite is often not enough. I only use red, assuming the thing has a scope at all. Lever guns don't typically adapt well to scopes; combs are too low, length of pull too short. It's trying to tell you something. You are experiencing that not all too rare "tissue rejection" phenomena inherent in mounting 21st century optics on a 19th century rifle. Put a proper peep on it and save yourself before it's too late.
