The ARMs POS mount is probably rocked to the rear givng a reverse moa slant at teh front instead fo the back. The ARMs mount will not stay inn place and I only know of one individual that has a mounting technique for the ARMs that seems to work. He uses special tools taht he created and about three years of experimentation. I call him slightly anal.

I would under no circunstances weld a base to the receiver. there is the very real possiblity that the receiver, base, or both could be damaged beyond repair in the process. This was found out to the chagrin of the Marine Corps who tried this technique about twenty five years ago.

I would own an ART scope only if it was the last scope available on this planet AND if I could no longer shoot irons.

The only scope mount that I have ever used that retained zero was the Brookfield mount and even that took time to mount properly and any of them can get rocked to the rear due to differences in the receiver/barrel union.

Anyone with a TRW reciver should not try to mount a scope period unless they have a masochism in their blood.
