I completely get what you are saying. There's a lot to be said for simplicity. But for me anyway a pic rail has almost zero to do with power but rather being able to count grooves and remove my optic if I have to and get it back where it was easily. Also the amount of Q/D mounts and rings make it just that much easier to do. If you never plan to remove the optic to say, get it into a case or do a thorough cleaning on the airgun.. then dovetail all the way. And the added 4oz 5 oz? Means nothing really.Also , I would use the 11mm dovetail instead of adding a picatinny rail . Just adding weight and really not necessary on a moderate powered pcp . It does look cool but function before form .
