"It's always an owner choice, to each his own."
Bingo! That was my point! I just wanted to put forth a differing opinion so that other people who may not be as educated about scope mounting to see they have options.
As I was typing this popped up!
"I've seen too many screws come loose and parts drop off at ranges with people who don't use anything."
Just yesterday,, at my range & during a USPSA match, I was given an aftermarket piece that came off a firearm. And I saw a holster where a screw & spacer had been lost.
If you shoot a lot,, and fail to do normal maintenance & inspection of your equipment,, then things can & will happen. In the case of the 2 things I saw yesterday,, one would have benefited from the use of thread locker, (the holster screw) while the part that came off,, has no holes or anything in it to where such stuff could have been used. It was an aftermarket thumbrest that had a serrated notched type of side that held it in place. BUT,, it may have also had other parts that failed that were not found.
