Oh you scamp, ha. I can honestly say I have never had an issue with the mounts. I "did" have a Burris 3x9 lose its reticle (first shot from my first 338WM, back in early 90s) Replaced it with a Leupold 2.5x8, no issues. The newer Burris scopes work fine on what I have put them on, up to 338WM also. But this one is going on a 243, and I already have the mounts/scope. Its just this OBell looks like the old Simmons 44! ha
