I think drilling the receiver on my mosin was no big deal. Sure, you have to have a drill press, but that scope mount practically snapped in place on the receiver, it didn't have the room to shift around and get out of alignment.

and I agree about the metal bending. If the rifle can unscrew the mount screws (which it won't anymore, thanks to a little Loctite) it'll deform that metal after a couple hundred rounds. I think i'm just old fashioned...
