    Yea tx200 not that much recoil really,its a hawke scope so mounts should be decent quality.

    Depends on the amount of recoil & quality of the mounts.
    If they're single strap mounts I'd chuck them & fit either double strap or a one piece.
    The TX I had was pretty lively, one of the reasons I hate them.

    Using two piece mounts on a TX here just fine. Plenty of competition shooters I know do as well.

    The only TX I have known 2 piece mounts move on was a TX200SR, much to my embarrassment ... a one piece mount solved the issue.

    Cheers, Phil

    I used the T04C Sportsmatch, (6 screws per ring), two piece rings to mount my 3x9 40 mm Hawke scope. The rear ring uses a stop pin that I pushed to the rear when torqueing the 2 base screws. With the two piece rings I can space them to match the scope tube. I have about 50/75 shots through the HW95L and these rings seem to be secure. Good luck.

    IMO A one piece mount just looks more robust

    I would say it also depends on the scope and it it has a sidewheel for a side focus scope .

    Some side wheels are quite large and won't fit on due to the mount if using a one piece mount .
