    Quick release rings, are they worth it?

    Looking at getting some quick release rings on one of my rifles, as I also enjoy using open sights and makes transportation easier.

    For those of you who have them or have used them in the past, will they return to zero +/- an inch?

    Cheers

    James

    Both should work fine for returning to zero, I've used PRW QD rings before on an AR and they seemed solid enough.

    I've run several sets of Warne QD rings. Sitting on 223 to 9.3x62 and never had any issues. Hunt around for a good price!

    What kind of return to zero can one expect?

    +- 1/2MOA on a decent set of rings. I've had no zero shift on non-QD rings when mounting/unmounting.

    I have some leupold ones for my 10/22 takedown and have no issues. Leupold say within 1/2 inch at 100yards on their website.

    I asked about this some time ago and was told that EAW q/d mounts are the best (and expensive).

    I find I can take off my standard weaver rings and scope and replace them with no poi issues,one thing I do make sure of is when I fit them the first time I have one ring pushing forward on the front base and the rear ring pushing rearward on the rear base,means no forward or backward slack to alter poi when remounted .poor mans quick release system.just means you have to carry the right Allen key to remove and you need to be careful to not lose the screws.

    Warnes return to zero on my Brno 30-06.
    A good shot at close range beats a 'hit" at a longer range.

    Good quality is what you need, Warne etc, quality of rail can make a difference, have a friend who swaps between thermal and scope, which holds a good zero, he keeps his shots to a maximum of 300.

    Thanks all for your input, I will buy a pair of Leupold QRW and update how they go once I've used them.

    How did you go with the quick release rings in the end?
