RE: Cantilever Barrell vs. Bolt-on Sideplate
i would go with a cantilever just because the scope will always be mounted to the barrel and will neverhave to worry about a screw loosening up on a side plate just and throw your sight off just less things to loosen up on you and with a cantilever when you take the barrel off with a side mount the barrel might have alittle movement and you'll have to resight it in IMO
