The QR rings are really nice for cleaning and I still like to shoot iron sights on occassion they make it alot easier to do what ever you want. I had thought about buying a Leopuld also but, tell you the truth I really like the Burris and the price is fair to boot. I think I have seen them as low as 190 or so (maybe a little lower I have not looked in awhile) at various places on the net.
