Primarily, no flexibility for eye relief adjustment.

Bassett scope mount question
What factors should I consider in choosing between the standard Bassett scope mount and the Picatinny mount?

Get the picatinny. High or low is personal preference.
It gives you more flexibility in scope eye relief.
It just looks a whole lot better than the old school mount.
Even without the scope on it, I think it gives the rifle a nice scout type of look.
The last benefit I recently realized after 5 years of using it. I've never found any shell marks on my scopes although I do see brass marks on the bottom of the basset. I think it defects them away from hitting the scope. So I see that as a major plus for the pic mount.
I have 2 of the high pic mounts.
