I need to purchase mounts for my TX200. Current mounts BLK are slipping & I need mounts that have a stop screw.
Recommendations, 1 piece or 2?
My thought is Hawk 2 piece mount.

Which model BKL are you using? I've never had a 3" one-piece move on my TX or HW97s.

I have the Hawke one piece match mount on my TX 200. It doesn't move. If getting a one piece mount be sure you have enough tube length for the length of the mount.

I have single screw BKLs on my TX with a hawke varmint scope and have no issue with scope movement ever. The guns dovetails need to be cleaned with alcohol or a degreaser to remove all oils and the mounts interface with the dovetails as well. Then tightened down very snugly by hand with a L shaped allen wrench. Granted my TX is tuned to 12 fpe so that may make some difference versus full power tunes.
A good one piece mount should be movement free even without a stop pin if the dovetail and mount is clean of all oils and tightened properly.

I installed a Hawk 1 piece mount, problem solved. I was using the 2 piece BLK & some of the screws are now stripped.

If you stripped screws they were way over tightened. You can always drill out threads and pocket for allen screw head and tap for next size up screw to salvage them for use on non spring guns. My bet is the dovetails/ mount ears had oil coating them allowing for the slippage to occur.
