Thread: Return to zero QD mounts

I have Quick Release rings on a 45/70 that has a 2-7 leopold compact in it. i just checked & cant find a name on them but remembered they were well priced from one of the main stores when i brought them 20+years ago. They handle sub loads & super loads seemingly with ease but the tiny tube-like scope would have very little inertia compared to a big NF or Loopy etc. My reason for them is the compact goes on for hunting in dry to drizzerly weather & then its a quick change over to a red dot when hunting in serious rain. Ive been very happy with them. Only minor niggle is that the throw levers can sometimes hook up on bush lawyer & thin vines but pointing them back towards shooter negates most of that. They did live on my 308 but got changed off for no important remembered reason.
