Lewis, I can see sense in both sides of the argument, and it will also depend where one decides to store the assembly. Inside the house protected from all elements, in a shed where dust and moisture might be an issue etc... Provided the mount is made for the load, I can't see why leaving the scope/mount assembled would be a major problem.
And when you think of it, frequent disassembly, tightening, untightening etc. all places strain and wear & tear on screws and bolts - and eventually one day they will strip and cross thread.
Personally, I disassemble each time - for the sake of space, lighter carry loads and safe storage of the OTA. Cheers, Fox.
