How is he shooting the rifle? Off a bag, off a stand or off hand? If I put my photon on my r700, and shoot off the hood of my truck with a soft bag under the forearm and a bag under the rear it shuts off every single time. The springs aren't strong enough and the whole gun recoils up and the batteries slide down in the compartment and it shuts off when it loses contact. I can repeat it at any given time. Other than that I've never had it shut off. Recoil causes the scope to move upwards (to the sky) and the batteries are still sitting in the scope and the spring compress and they loose contact. Its only a milisecond though. Heavier spring would fix it. Or not shooting off a soft boat cushion! Ha
