Glad to be of help, it was not exactly 'to hand' but did not take much time to put together, had a good idea where to look. (bit sad that

It is worth mounting a scope correctly. If you lap the rings and use the same torques on the screw then removing the scope should not be a problem. I take a spare scope to competitons, already in set up in rings and have found less than 1/2" shift at 100yards if swapped out, good enough and sure beats going home!

Very good idea, Terry. I've always taken care over mounting bases & rings, and I'm finally going to start using regularised torque settings as well. I have a new scope to mount, as it happens - might fit it into spare rings**, following your own practice, so I too can swap scopes over...
Regards, Malcolm
**I need some rings! Current ones are "standard" steel rings (branded Tasco, Australia) that drop onto capstan-shaped stub protruding from flat steel base, about 2cm from top of base to central axis of ring, need a smidgeon higher... Any offers? Hope I will be forgiven this "wants" ad, repeating it in the proper section too...
