    I swap between red dot,Kahles 2-7 and open sights with no noticeable changes in poi,..but I bush hunt mostly,last time I swapped over on the range the scope was half inch out at 100m,good enough for me,I just have weavers,not even lever quick release rings ..

    Leupold quick release weaver style rings are excellent.made of steel.

    I think there used to be a one piece base quick release leupold for the marlin. That is a good system as well but not so common in this country.
    Like that:

    Look for some rings that allow you to use the factory irons.

    Failing that get a torque screw driver and some sort of long life but removable mark. And then put it in exactly the same place and same torque as the last time.

    I don't actually see what you're trying to achieve by having a fixed 2.5x20 and a 3x9x40.

    Youre better off just getting a 1-4*20 vx2

    I bought mine for 300.

    I used one on a 223 and it was a good choice out to 200 M which a 30 30 is realistically good for.

    I put the old style warne QD rings and bases on the 416 rem mag with a 1.5-5 loopy. Dangerous game type set up.
    Cant see how that would be bad on a 3030.
    Never did try taking the scope on and off for zero.
    Check out what they do for dangerous game if you really want to take the scope off.
    Pick a set of rings and bases that seem to get used a lot.
    If they didnt work they wouldnt used them.
    Always welcome to check out the big girl one day for reference

    I put witness marks on my screws for attaching to the base so they go back to pretty much the same torque..

    Some things you do because you can.

    I was trying to be a cheap bastard cause I have access to both those scopes, but I have been educated now and will stick to a single optic

    I use some Warne QR ones. Have them on my red dot and my normal hunting scope.
    They hold zero and are good for swapping out. Have used them in France on driven boar and you can change the scope set up in around five minutes.
    Not as fast as some of the more expensive euro mounts but way.........cheaper. happy with mine.
    It's all fun and games till Darthvader comes along
    I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.

    Yes as 308 says that was in the back of mind. But I have a system that I work with.
    It’s not let me down. Shooting well over 600 rounds and I’ve yet to see a shift. On the running boar range and swapping between the red dot and scope.
    I’d more likely blame the miss on the operator than the rings.
    Who’s not heard of normal scope rings moving.
    Now if I was in the jessey after elephants or buff etc I’d be over iron sights with a double rifle! But I’ve yet to win the lottery or event the time machine
