Pretty sure if you wack any rings hard enough you will distort something... Probably take more force with a quality mount.
I never had any issues with the factory tikka rings but only have had them on a 308, something with more recoil maybe an issue? I upgraded to Talley's one piece as they are pretty rock solid and way lighter than optilocks.
I personally always check my zero on a target if its had a knock hard enough to make me wonder... worth it for the piece of mind!
