The purpose of a recoil lug

Or worse!!.....You could get a sever case of scope eye from a scope that somehow got detached from a receiver for no apparent reason. Like.....I thought I tightened those screws???.....OR...Do you know how far a loose scope can fly from a 30-06 recoil?

Can't say I've ever launched a scope before. I did have some mounting screws come loose just enough to drive me crazy. Each shot was a minimum of 3 inches away from the previous shot. Using ammo that was known to be accurate.
