Default RE: Leupold Quick Release Base

I agree with Jimbo. The system is' nt designed to " bounce scopes" between guns with. It is a simple way of either removing the scope for travel, cleaning or whenever iron sights are desired or required. I have used nothing but Warne detachable mounts (they make the QRW rings for Leupold) on my Knight muzzleloader since I bought it nearly 10 years ago. It gets removed after each target session or a weekends hunt for cleaning and it has NEVER lost zero. Even when dropped on a large rock on a NM elk hunt a few years ago (the VX II took a beating but held zero as well).

The dual pin " quick release" system like pine is talking about is even less of a " continually removable" setup as compared to the QRW system. Pine you actually have to lock them down with pliars to force the cam to lock down over the pin in the ring itself. That would eventually start wearing it out if you constantly took it on and off.

Good luck,
RA
