[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 797761, member: 30902"] On my own no. If I was doing it for someone else I'd ask them which way they wanted to go. Once I put one on I have no plans to take them off. I don't change out my gear or accessories unless something is wrong. The more solid the meld between receiver and rail the better off you are. On some of the magnums I've also after mounting drill through the rail into the receiver to place one or two pins. If you use big heavy scopes on magnums there's a hell of a lot of shearing forces at work every time you pull the trigger and I have seem some guys have a very expensive scope fly off and crash into the cement when their allen screws sheared off. Bolts and screws, especially those threaded from tip to head don't have very good resistance against shearing forces because the threading greatly weakens them. [/QUOTE]
