I always Loctite the bases, but IMO re-torqueing the rings during the initial sight in is a good idea. I don't know if the screws back off a little, or the parts just settle in a bit with the recoil, but often the screws will have loosened a little.

On one occasion involving a hard kicking rifle and Weaver rings that I personally installed, as I always have, I did have things back off to the point during the first range session that I suspect the POI might have gone out of whack if I hadn't caught it with the re-torque.

If the bases were loose then blame WSS, if it was the rings then I feel the problem could have been easily prevented by the owner.
