I would NOT trust a rifle that had been dropped from a helicopter or sat on. After all your life could depend on it and it doesn't take much force to mess it up no matter how good your mounts are.
I think that for some, sighting in a weapon is a religious thing. (I know, Don't laugh) People spend hours and hours getting it just right. Even gentle bouncing around under the seat could knock it out of adjustment.
Also keep in mind it's not just the physical mounts that can fail, holographic sights (EOTech) and even optical scopes like Leupold, Bushnell or Vortex are pretty fragile. A dead battery and my Eotech is useless.
Storing it under the seat might work if properly protected on all sides, but how the hell would you get it out in a hurry if your life depended on it?

Buy right, cry once. Don't buy cheap shit if you or yours depend on it. I never jumped out of helicopters or even stayed in a Holiday Inn.... But, I banged an AR around for years in an out of a patrol car to personal vehicle every day. My sight was always spot on. Eotechs are actually one of the toughest sights out there. you can have a smashed broken whatever effect to the lens and if there's enough glass to support the reticle your spot on. Keyboard commandos make me laugh.
