I'll play along, Bob.
I'm not a gun guy, but the only things I can see is that the scope is "side mounted" (to allow the use of the iron sights on the barrel, but I don't think that's rare) and the fact that only 2 of the three mounting holes have mounting screws in them. You could speculate that 2 screws, as opposed to three, would allow the possibility of adjusting the scope slightly by using the mounting bracket, if the holes in the mounting bracket were slightly larger than the mounting screws. If you had three screws you would not be able to adjust it much, if at all.
The only other thing I can think of is that the gunsmith is lazy or in a hurry.
Given that there were 2 possibilities for scoping the rifle, Klein's and Ryder's, can we distinguish the true gunsmith by the use of 2 not 3 mounting screws?
