that does not come loose from rifle recoil? I have one for my Colt Hbar that is a real POS. I'm NOT spending the $$$ on a new upper. TIA.

Yep.

ARMS makes really nice stuff.

Permanence is going to be a function of your installation technique, however. When using a mount system on a rifle I tend to take down for maintenance on a regular basis, I tend to favor blue locktite for any screws that hold the mount in place. It doesn't rattle loose with regular use, but can be detached with a little elbow grease easily enough.

I had an ARMS #18 mount for a Springer M1A that I used to have, and I couldn't remove the bolt without also removing the mount system first. No big deal... it re-attached to practically the same zero point each time it came on and off.

But, the AR platform won't have that problem. A carry-handle optics mount won't require detachment except for an optics failure situation.
