Hello all. I recently joined "The Hide" and this is my first time beginning a post. I did a search for the answer to this question before posting but found no answers. If the answer to my question has been posted before, please let me know where I can get to it. Now for my question: I have recently purchased a Nemesis Windrunner and a S&B PMII 4-16x50 scope. Since I dropped so much money on the scope, I may as well use it on my other rifles as well. I am wondering whether getting a fixed mount that detaches as a whole, or regular ring mounts would be better for my rifle? Is one heavier, bulkier, or less accurate than the other? Is it even a good idea to switch scopes between guns? Any information on what you may have experienced would be much appreciated!
