Well, I bought one for my 9422M and after installing it decided to remove it. It is completely clear to me that aside from not having a horse or a saddle, that the ring will quickly wear an unsightly ring on my receiver. This is a minty fresh 9422M. It has been cared for strictly and aside from a small impression wear a "gun smith" put a scope ring mark (barely visible) on top of the receiver it shows no wear.
I know people use them to defeat the cross bolt safety on Marlins, a dubious enterprise at best, my opinion but my 9422 has only the half cock anyways.
Yeah or nay on saddle rings? I think I would rather have a safety than a worn area on my receiver. Of course, I suppose if I had a horse instead of a Jeep that ring might make sense. Horses make such a mess in the garage though and at work I think my horse would be ticketed for non-acceptable biological emissions.
