Strap wrench on the ring yes and maybe a jar type grip pad on the ocular. Short of putting wrenches on them what else can you do...
My first tightened / locked easily.
My second was a little more of a pain but I was able to lock it by hand after some effort.
It also helps if you mark the diopter setting with paint pen - I mark both rings to line up with the 1x marking.

Glad I found this thread. I bought a BCM 14.5 ELW upper with a pinned and welded BCM comp. I already own 2 NF scopes so this should be a no brainer for my first LVPO. Brownells has the NX8 1-8x for $1750 with a no name mount included. A bit leery on the no name mount. The NX8 will stay on this upper and generally be used out to 400 yards. Also looking at the Primary Arms 1-8 platinum and the Trijicon credo. The PA won’t be available until may per the website. Still more research to do but the NF is looking good. Not willing to pay for the ATACR.
I just switched from a Razor 1-6 II-E to an NX8. The reason I am happy with the switch, and intend to keep the NX8, is the size and weight. This particular rifle is a 14.5 BCM ELW, so the rifle is pretty compact and lightweight.
The Razor is more generous in the eye box, but it is noticeably bulkier on this particular rifle.
