Here is a challenging question: are heavier scopes more susceptible to creep than lighter scopes?

I have no idea but, with some older air rifles, the anti-recoil holes do not exist. For example, with the Original 45, there is a lightly grooved scope rail and I found it was necessary to place two arrestor blocks to hold the scope.

It occurred to me that smaller and lighter scopes might be less susceptible to creep but it might be the other way around, or it could be there is no difference. There are arguments for each possibility, I think.

It is a question for a technophile of air-gunning!
