I'm not familiar with that mount
Rick, so I looked it up on the Dixie site
http://www.dixiegunworks.com/product_info.php?products_id=7612. After reading the description I would suspect the mount is at fault rather than the scope. We often discuss the merits of steel vs. aluminum mounts, and some guys don't trust aluminum mounts
that are screwed down to the barrel. I just don't see any way a mount that is held to the barrel magnetically and with straps can remain stable shot to shot.
With the scope mounted, is it totallyimpossible to move it with your hand?
The mount is magnetic, but there are also set screws used to create a pressure fit as well against the side of the barrel. The mount presses in place on the barrel, takes a bit of a jerking motion to pull it off of the barrel. I was skeptical, but was told that this mount should not have issues with accuracy like I am seeing. The mount actually does move after each shot (which instructions say is normal), just press back in place against the reference point (breach plug)before the next shot.
