The KIDD trigger is quite a bit more expensive.

1. Scope. If you aren't using the picatinny version of the scope mount, get it. If you are already using a picatinny rail, then either your rings are bad, screws need proper torque, or screws need replacing. Any possibility you stretched the screws at some point? Did you degrease before installing? You shouldn't need any loc-tite if a ring has been mounted properly.It is the pic version, Just torqued them using a torque wrench, hopefully I get it out this weekend and see if that was the problem. Don't think so. yes everything was clean and degreased. Agreed
2. I noticed you did a "trigger job." Did you already replace the pins with a tighter set? Once you've finished polishing sear engagement, that's a pretty cheap upgrade that will help at the margins. Makes it a pain to work on it frequently once done, however. So finish final stoning of surfaces beforehand.No new pins yet, I am slowly stoning and polishing all rubbing surfaces,I am thinking next time I have it apart I will try the jb weld sear trick.I am only taking it down in VERY small increments, so it could be a few more range trips before I am done with it.
3. I think the bolt buffer is very helpful for little cost. It will decrease vibration on the mounts (not that you'll need it with a properly installed scope). More importantly, it will aid you, the shooter, in maintaining groups when shooting at speed.

Yeah all the aftermarket trigger groups are about as much as a new rifle.
