Honestly, you can do whatever you want with your rifle. There is no law that says staking the castle nut is required. If it works for you, thats fantastic. Its just that some people who stake (no pun intended) their lives and others lives on their rifles like the components to be in the best possible working order, and that means staking the castle nut. Sure, unstaked might work but why take the risk. You never want to have to say "Man, I wished I would have staked my castle nut." It takes less than 2 min to complete and it is the proper thing to do.
All professionals Im sure have staked nuts. Its probably for a reason.
But, like I said earlier you can do whatever you want.
