"
Really?"
Actually, yes!!
Peetzakilla, you obviously can mount scopes any way you feel pleases you. For my part, I will do it the way the professionals and scope manufacturers recommend. Based on what I've seen in the way of do it yourself mounting on hundreds of scopes at rifle site-in clinics, yours is the reason we have on-site gunsmiths at the clinic. I'm glad your technique works for you.
