Anyone use quick release mounts?

[Geofois]

I happen to be watching youtube videos and saw them. The people testing theirs seem to like that they hold zero when taken off and on. Maybe it can use some adjustment. Not that my nikko stirling targhetto master is a great scope but it's mounts suck. If you loosen them to take off the scope they fall away since they aren't really attached to the mounts. If I can flip the scopes off I can fit them into one hard case for easy transportation or storage. Not that I can't just get some decent regular mounts but if I'm gonna get new mounts maybe it's a nifty ideeeer =)

I don't use anything but QR anymore for anything under 4x. I was skeptical at first but mine really do maintain zero and I was dealing with the same issues of guns not fitting in their cases with the optic mounted.

I'm a big fan of the American Defense mounts. No complaints with their products and they hold zero time and time again.

What kind of rifle? And are you thinking a full mount or QD rings? If you have a bolt action, these common AR-application QD mounts might not work for you. Especially if it doesn't have a Pic rail on top.

I switched

I'm using them too. It's great to be able to switch scopes for different applications. And, even if some sighting in is required it's also nice to be able to switch scopes to a different rifle.

Mostly using Leupold, but occasionally Warne and others for larger tubes. Mostly split rings but occasionally a one piece unit. More height options available for split rings (say low, medium and high), but one piece units offer some benefits too.

I'm going to build a 308 AR. Currently I have a bolt action Howa 308 with a picantinny rail over the bolt so it would work there too but it's going on the AR. I'll probably get one for the 223 AR also.

I use QD rings on my CZ 527 carbine. Mainly in case my scope goes down in the field so I can quickly remove it and use the irons.

I have never tested a return to zero.

I'm using Warne QR medium height 30mm rings with a separate 1/2 inch riser on my flattop 223 AR... 1.5x6x42 Nikon Monarch scope...I have a fixed front site so I need the height... Taking the scope off and on the POI stays the same at 100 yards.. A friend of mine does not have the riser or the front sites and uses the low height leupold rings... I cannot get my head behind his scope,,, and racking the charging handle is a major pain... No clearance for my fingers topside.. A few things to think about before you spend the $$$...
Cheers....

I use the Burris QD AR PEPR mount and it holds zero no problem.

[Geofois]

Thanks everyone. I should be getting a second scope this coming Friday so I'll order a QD mount. I did notice when I took off my primary arms scope and mount off my ar15 and put on my ar10 it was just about dead on at 100 yards but I don't want to have to keep zero-ing every time.

Recently bought a ADM qd mount for my Acog last month and zero'd, removed and remounted (remembering to push it forward on the rail) and retested zero and it was spot on. Will need further testing though before I feel confident about it though.

The guys at Fowler's pointed out the advantages of QR and I have never looked back.

Is that featureless biuld?
