Well,

I got my .308 Win custom from ATRS and went out to sight the rifle in. I figured that I would need to make some minor adjustments to the scope from where the rifle was last sighted in at. Well, to my surprise, I fired 5 rounds into the exact same POI without any adjustments to my scope (Leupold Mark 4 M2). I thought for sure that there would be at least 1" shift in some direction. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! To give you an idea of what the scope/rifle combo went through.

1.) Rifle was originally mounted in TPS rings/20 MOA base and I moved the scope to a lower Burris Xtreme rings. I never fiddled with the adjustments as when I zeroed it the only shift was 1/2 MOA lower and 1/2 MOA to the right.

2.) I took the scope off the rifle and sold the original LTR stock off and put in a McMillan A5 stock. The scope was off for about 2 weeks while Rick at ATRS pillar bedded my new stock.

3.) I got the rifle back last Thursday and reinstalled the scope in the original TPS rings that it was zeroed for and mounted it back on. Today I fired a 5 round group at 100m (submoa~.9" - definitely shooter error as I hadn't shot in over 2 months) and it was into the same POI :eek:

I am totally sold on the repeatability of this mounting system! Not to say that I would take my scope off the rifle for fun but definitely I wouldn't have an issue of taking the scope off if I had to.

Here is the target:
