No worries. I'm more about having functional rifles, than drooling over the looks of a safe queen. As I mentioned above, I had a bit of slippage in the 30mm Signature Zee's, and a "heavyish scope" requires mounts that can handle the inertia of said scope on a light rifle with fast recoil. Sure, the setup isn't going to win any beauty contests, but having peace-of-mind that my rifle is dead-nutz, rock solid reliable, as I sit on the peak of a sheep mountain planning a stalk on a ram, is more important to me than beauty pageants. I've just had too many scope/mount setups fail on me to think otherwise. To have a bullet-proof rifle/scope/mount setup that is very capable of long shots if the need arises, and still weighs 6 lbs 10 oz all up, simply works for me.
