How much MOA is lost to a "Heavy Duplex" reticle??

Nope--I removed the stock just to confirm everything was torqued to spec. I am temped to order a mount for a 50mm bushell elite sitting on a rarely used 10/22 target build just to see what this thing is capable of.

You either expertly deflected my poke at you OR it went completely over your head. The "nut behind the trigger" is the shooter.

How much are mounts? Add in the price of ammo and whatever you consider your time worth. Small price to pay for an enjoyable day at the range so why not.

Interesting that you have a heavy (close range) reticule in a 4.5-14 (longer range) scope.

Just sayin'. You'd probably have better luck getting tiny groups with a reticule designed for that, if you can see it. If not, I'd do as others have suggested and aim slightly differently.
