1) Are they made for springers? 

2) Are they beneficial to/for a 
springer? 

3) On a TX/Prosport platform 
would they be recommended? 

4) On a magnum platform, would 
they be recommended? 

5) Do they hold consistently 
and precisely on the platforms 
above in #3 & #4? 

6) One piece or two piece mounts? 

7) What brand/manufacturer you 
suggest? 

Lastly I have a bkl 1-pc mount w/droop comp. Like an idiot, I stripped 1 screw that's on the end. So it could be the 1st or 6th screw. I am wondering that since I don't have a tap/die set, will those other 5 screws hold almost as well? On a magnum spring gun?
 
ALERT! The following is my opinion only.

I don't see a need for adjustable scope mounts on a springer, magnum or not, unless you really, REALLY want to pay that premium just to fix some barrel droop. I've found the droop compensating mounts to be terrific in correcting my springer shots. I've seen some posts recently (mostly due to the "Long Rangers" contest) in which adjustable mounts were recommended and reviewed for use in extending the functional sight line of scopes on air guns. Those kinds of shot ranges are anomalies for me and most springer shooters. I can take my shots out to 100 yds with my Benji Summit .22 and find my standard scope and mounts eminently usable. Again, my opinion only.

"Lewis"For magnum springers I have recently begun using the RWS bullseye mount with great success. Droop compensation built in and gentle on your scope.

that's what I have on my RWS 54 at this moment. My concern with that type of Mount is all the moving parts. Now when I mean the moving parts issue is that I feel that more moving Parts creates more or has the potential to become more issues in the long run. As of yet nothing has happened with the scope and or the mount but then at the same time I still worry, LOL

"JoeWayneRhea"Josh ive tried them and wouldn't recommend them ..Springers have a way of shaking every thing attached to them loose . 
I'm with the other guys , solid droop compensate mount and worries are over . They aren't pretty , but hang on like iron !!!!!

I think I am in the same boat as the rest of the consensus here meaning just getting bkl one piece droop and be done with it, LOL. Thanks everybody
