...For a scabbard that Picatinny protector mount would sprobably provide the most security, but it would make the sight sit up higher
Jim, I don't have the protector mount but I was under the impression that it simply fitted between the sight and whatever mount was underneath, whether it be the Picatinny or one of the rifle-specific mounts (?) If so, the protector mount would only raise the sight up by the added thickness of the protector mount (1/16" or so), so I'm guessing that with it and an 1894 mounting plate it wouldn't likely sit any higher than with the Picatinny mount by itself.
