Very possible, but if it was one of the package rifles they use very questionable rings. What brand of rings were they?

If they were torqued to 15 inch pounds that should be fine, doesn’t mean they didn’t loosen off from recoil though.

These rings are being phased out for the sport rings. Id switch em out. Odds are if it came put together in a combo they werent torqued right.
