regularly removing scope from pic rail - pic rail damage ???

Only if it is a LaRue mount.

There was an instructor, maybe with Magpul's training thing they had going. Todd something?.. a real good long range shooting instructor. He made the point that if you had limited funds for Glass, it was better to move 1 good scope, than say 2 Vortex scopes for example.

I understand that point. I guess one can do that if one has multiple rifles for long range shooting, for example. But the OP has only two rifles, wouldn’t make more sense to set them up each for a specific purpose?
I’m not criticizing. To each their own.

Now those were supposed to "Laruin" your rails according the the homos at AAC back in the day. They were having a sissy feud with nut case Mark LaRue however.

I find it impossible to believe that two different rifles would have the exact same zero, no matter how repeatable the mount may be on a single rail.

Therefore, you will loose your zero on one of the rifles.

It works if you accept the different zeros and have different dope tables.

You could do that, but the windage is still a variable.

The dope table has windage setting for no wind too. See post #7.

That works!

My brain doesn't work calendars or windage adjustments. I just doesn't. I'm all for sharing one good scope if you have a system.

Yeah I also took time to accept that the dope table is just "expected values". There are variables at play in the field, wind, temperature, atmospheric pressure etc. One needs to be flexible and adaptive, and be quick to adjust dope to compensate.

I was poking fun at LaRue mounts allegedly chewing up pic rails and the ensuing meltdowns from back in the day.
