Next Steps

Clearly, no amount of torque on the rail screws is going to prevent the rail from shifting to either side.

There is no recoil lug on the rail.

The action is round, this means that rifle torque will try to rotate the rail around the action, and that torque, acting with the recoil in line with the bore, might cause a heavy scope to shift if the rail is bedded normally.

The conclusion I came to was to bond the rail to the action.

Unconventional, but my most sensible option considering that I never change rails on my target rifles. Once it's on, it stays on. I've changed scopes, but never the rail.
