Stays in tune more than any other bridge system for me. It even moves a little and maintains the same tuning when moved.
If its backed toward the trem sometimes it buzzes against the thimbles, so although i push back i give it an upward pull on the trem to set things away from the thimbles.

I put shinny sticker strips around the bottom of my post and I get a subtle wobble when using the trem, comes back at the exact spot every time. The Fender design is the best one in my opinion, except for the saddles (as they eventually do all sorts of buzzing when the break angle is weak). That's where the Mustang saddles come in. Sonically though, the OG bridge and saddles are the best. By putting on the right pocket shim, the OG setup is the best.

So i have an offset with mastery bridge but also kind of a buzz stop and DG tremolo, does this mean that the buzz stop might create higher friction/tension on the mastery leading to lower tuning stability?

Also addressed in the other thread, but yes.
