I have shot both my Supercharger pistol and the 95 with a very cheap Crosman reflex sight. I think one reason the sight worked so well is it weighs just about nothing, so it doesn't has as much mass trying to stay put during the shot cycle. At the ranges I plink (under 40 yards) and pest (under 20) the irons and reflex sights work great. But if I was leaving a cope on, I'd definitely be following your footsteps. Anything else is just asking for a broken scope or inconsistency.
I got a hammers scope with a solid one piece dove tail mount and put it on a hatsan 95 qe, I thought with 4 screws to hold the scope on the dove tail that there would be no way that it could move so I didn't use a stop screw. Well I shoot it for a couple of weeks and notice that the zero is changing. I just adjust the scope and keep shooting. Well today I decide to check the ring screws and they are loose. The base mount screws are tight. I shoot maybe 10 more shots and the ring screws are loose again. Now I am getting irritated.I head out to the store and get some blue loctite and put it on all the ring screws and decide that I need to take the base loose and loctite the base screws. Well I end up taking the base completely off the gun and see that the base has slid back at least .5" and that the back of the base has been damaged by the mounting grooves in the receiver.I corrected the mounting base by removing the damaged metal. I then installed a stop screw and have remounted the scope using loctite.Live and learn.Got to check those screws. Got to use a scope stop screw.
Another thing that helps to keep things from moving is to clean the rings and dovetail groves with a good cleaning solvent to remove any residual oils or grease Definitely use a stop screw or screws and all screws get the recommended blue locktite and I finally broke down and bought a Wheeler torque screwdriver st tighten everything to the required specifications

Nothing is ever 100% fool proof since us fools are very inventive LOL
I guess that this is another case of belt and suspenders being better than one or the other. Maybe clean everything then set everything mark the setup and then some judicious application of red loctite and then snug it all back up again .
I'm not saying this will work for everyone on all rifles, but it has worked very well for me.....I have made a change to my scope mounting procedure and no longer use loctite. After some issues with BKL one-piece adjustables, I did some research and found an alternative method. After torquing the screws on a given mount, the screws will stretch. Initially they will lock up nice and snug at desired inch lbs. However, after a little time the screws will stretch and lose some of that torque. The correct thing to do would be to snug them up again to maintain the desired torque.....but if screws are loctited, the torque driver will click, making it appear as if they are tight when in fact theyre not.I now do this;Scrub and degrease all parts and dove tail surfaces. Apply tiny bit of moly under screw heads with the corner of a razor blade (see picture below)Assemble and torque properlyRecheck torque periodically as screws stretch. After several times you'll see that they stay tight and no longer stretch.Another benefit is that you get reduced friction between base of screw head and mount allowing more of the torque to get to the screw.Haven't had a single issue with this and mounts are holding rock solid I know it is somewhat "against the norm", but I cant deny it has worked so far for me Steve
I do wonder if using molly paste will increase the screw tension without changing the screw torque at the torque driver.........
