Since this muzzle break does not lock in place, will it remain attached or remain at zero with many many many rounds through it? Will it remain true?

Lots of rounds means heat, this means that metal will eventually move a bit. There is a chance that it will move forward on the barrel but the tolerance on the one I have is such that lateral movement is unlikely.

yes it stays in place. Also on my ak-47 it does have a little slot that works with the muzzle brake to lock. If you don't have that the threads are tight

the brake locks in place on my wasr rifle..it has a locking pin to lock the brake on and allows you to index the brake properly..

Mine locks into place just like the original. As for remaining true, I only have about 200 rounds through and its fine. Got rid of the Yugo cheek slap also.

Mine is attached below and on the barrel but every so often I have to tighten it. I believe this is caused by the force of the blast after you fire so many times.

I had no issues with mine. I have had that issue with other rifle scopes. I lightly tapped on the turret with my multitool. Sometimes reticles get stuck. Lightly tapping will jar them loose. If that does not work...exchange it.

I have one installed on a 590 with a pistol grip. It has held secure with a flashlight attached for over 200 hundred rounds, about half of which were buckshot or slugs. If it's loose just cut a piece of sandpaper to fit in one side of the clamp. Put the grit side towards the clamp not the mag tube. That way there will be no marks on the tube when you remove it. I've done this for other applications and it holds securely.

Didnt have it when I did have to sight in my Gamo Whisper, but I did use it to zero my Marlin XL7 in 30-06. It handled the kick from that mule just fine, air rifle should be no issue. As you may already know, break action air rifles actually push forward when they recoil due to the momentum of the piston slamming forward, which will just lock it onto the rest even tighter. My one recommendation is to fill the stand (it has openings for this) with heavy sand or lead shot to add mass and keep it in place better. Mine weighs about 15lbs now, filled with a fine lead shot from sandbag weights.

That's a good question. I'm actually mounting it to the gun today and hope to zero it in soon, perhaps this Sunday. To me, I would assume that would be the case. My gun has only two slots where the mounts will fit.It should stay 0

I have used mine on my S&W SD9VE and also my Ruger 9E and have fired a few hundred rounds through each gun with the light attached and it did not come lose, nor did it fall off. It still works just fine. I like the locking latch system this light uses vs. a screw/knob combination that other lights use because I could see the screw coming lose with repeated firing. The locking latch system on this NC star clicks/locks into place. I have not had a chance to mount this on an XD so I don't know how much rail clearance your pistol has so either it will fit and be snug, or not. You may need to return it if it doesn't work.

I have put mine on my SKS and have had no problems what-so-ever, and it seems to maintain a zero just fine.

I've had issue with it holding zero on my mini 14 so would be hesitant to put it n anything with more recoil.

Do you mean if it will hold zero? I really dont think it is intended for shotgun use, but I think it would.

It locks down very tight on the gun, it will work well on any .22 or pellet gun you should not have a problem with it coming loose, if you are using it as a permanent mount use some lock tight on the screws after you have it placed.

Yeah it will get the job done just ensure that you screw it on tight. After about 50 rounds i notice it coming loose. IDK if i didn't screw it on tight enough my first time putting it on or if its just that it is kind of a cheap sight. However after tightening it and firing off the last 50 rounds I had it held in. This sight will get it done but I'm definitely going to upgrade from this sight.

i have not had any problems with mine. attached to ar15 5.56 and shot many times.

Ive shot over 100 rounds no issues and ya it uses the bolts from trigger assembly so it shouldnt come lose

I would say that its not the scope, it holds perfect zero on several 22 rifles I have it on. Break barrel air rifles very often have zeroing issues due to the placement of the scope behind the barrel breaking point. When the barrel is opened, and then closed it can shift the barrel enough to cause a point of impact change.

I mounted mine on a dedicate AR-15, 22 caliber rifle. I have taken the mount off twice and so far I have had no issues with it holding zero.

Your .308 has a little more punch than my .223 - I found if you change the muzzle brake - it will calm it down quite a bit and help hold everything together better. I actually dropped my AR and it landed on the scope - after a quick dustoff - and a re-sighting - I was good to go. I usually check my scope for tightness after about every 40 rounds - 2 magazines.
