Robow,
You've made the right decision, in my opinion. Last year, I started out with see-thru sights on my Encore and quickly switched to the Leupold quick-release scope mount and I like it very much. As cayugad said, they make it easy to remove the scope for cleaning, plus it's nice and low with only about 1/16' between the front of the scope and the barrel. My cheek rests much more comfortably on the stock than it did with the over/under mount.
