Okay, well I have a Vortex CM-202 mount that I would sell if you are interested in it.  If not that's fine too.

good explanation and from someone who isn't just tacticool. Thanks for your service. 

Like zeek mentioned, I have always heard weight of ammo was reason military went with 223.  Soldiers can carry twice as much as 308 ammo/mags weigh more than twice 223:

 

RIFLE     CALIBER       WT. OF LOADED MAG          
M14           .308 Win          1 lb 7 oz. / 20 rounds          
M16           .223 Rem         0 lb 10.5 oz / 20 rounds

You need to measure from base of the rings to the center, i believe thats how the manufacturer will list a measurement. So if you measure your current setup u can shop around for that measurement.

Do you see any advantage to a one piece mount over what I did?

The big reason people use the one piece cantilever mounts on ars it to get the scope far enough forward for proper eye relief and to keep mounts off your rail. 

If yours is locked in good and eye relief is good, then id say ur good. My only worry is obviously you have more screws to worry about coming loose.

So my question is other than looks does the mount have any advantage over what I did

Looks. Heavier duty since it's one piece. Picatinny on top for fun stuff. Forward mounting for better eye relief.

my dad is the same way, but with a good quality non-harborfreight 1/4" drive torque wrench, a lead sled or gun vice and a bottle of loctite you're good to go for all your future scope mounting needs. Bolt actions are easy to boresite without fancy lasers too, but I also think they make adjustable boresite lasers? Not sure how cheap or effective they are though.

And a leveling kit to keep those crosshairs square. Cheap enough.

I plan on upping my scope mounting game with a lapping kit for my next mount/remount.

I would love to up my game with lapping. I just have no clue how lol

well shit... I stand corrected, there is more to it. lol

Well that's for 2 piece rings. I'd imagine the single piece mounts are a bit more straight at least I'd hope!

you guys sent me down a rabbit hole. this guy made me feel better. Around 36 minutes for those short on time.

The better rings and mounts advise against lapping.  I also like those that have the deralin insert like sako.  Regardless, I level everything and then gradually tighten to specs per ring manufacturer.   Split rings like LaRue require bottom to be fully torqued before top.  With a gun vise or tripod clamp, it’s pretty easy.
