I would sort of expect this to work better with a one piece mount than two piece, where it could be hard to get just the same tension on the scope each time eg if the rings had some torque in them like one of them stress free sits 0.1 degree clockwise of the other due to uneven side to side tightening or the front ring top screws are tighter at the from than back so the mount tilts forward when released from the rail, it would be all OK till you released them then they may not go back into the same spot on the rail.
A lot of people do report good results taking off their scopes but it might depend on using gear designed for it. Also technique, tapping scope back onro a stop bar and which clipper you do up first etc etc.
Will be interested to hear from someone who actually knows.
