I have a B-Square saddle mount and a 4X Simmons Pro Diamond scope on my BPS which I use almost exclusively for Turkey hunting. It has never failed me, though I think I would like to have the receiver drilled and tapped for a solid base as Graybeard stated. That would have to be a much more stable platform for mounting a scope. One advantage to the saddle though, you can still use the bead as it is visible under the saddle mount, if that should ever be necessary.
