Need help with CMP 03A4 scope mount

It's the same set up Gibb's put's on his "sniper" rifles.
Bought a Weaver 2.5 and a redfield mount to replace the Chinese set up on my Gibbs.
They are really pricy for what the are. (Gibbs/Leatherwood/Chinese)
Cost out a Weaver on ebay, mounts and rings from Midway.

A response from DCM gunsmith:

John,

The front ring fits very tightly in the base and should not be rotated with the scope mounted in the ring. Attempting to do so will damage the scope.
