The optic out on the rail is fine, if both the optic is tight on the rail and the rail is tight to the barrel. He won't loose his zero unless the rail is removed and then reinstalled on the barrel. Actually whenever possible I like to mount a 1x optic as far out as possible, target acquisition with it there is very fast.
It's much more solid if mounted on a FF rail like a DD Lite Rail, LaRue or Troy. I like all three of these in that order.
