Flat on top of the barrel. Im not a big fan of putting a optical

Break action spring guns come to mind as one of the major cases.

That barrel gets even a bit wobbly, doesnt lock up to the receiver
each and every time the same way...that optical sight is worthless

That certainly sound reasonable. However, that's how the scope is
mounted on my RWS. I wouldn't say that rifle gets "heavy use", but it
has dispatched quite a few garden rabbits over the years. Still
shoots right where I aim it, out to 150 ft or so anyway. Rifle go
pop, rabbit faw down.
