Mine had a one piece Redfield type.

OK.

had it drilled and tapped.

Now it has Talleys.


Some have had good luck with two piece just using one
back screw.

Wish I had tried it.

Being a belt/suspended type, I would epoxy it fast also.
Bet it would be just fine.

A tad of heat, and the epoxy would come right off.
