I thought after repeated shots the recoil would cause the quick release to get sloppy. Not true?
Hi BHS, Not with Lupey rings. They do not loosen until you loosen them.
I've got several weapons with either Leupold QR or QRW rings and bases ranging from 50 cal ML's to 300 WinMag. I've shot hundreds and hundreds of magnum loads and rounds and have never had one budge.
I've got a Weatherby in 30/06 that I use two different scopes for different loads on with the same base using QR rings. POI does not change at 100 yards. At 200+ yards you might see a slight POI change that you might adjust for.
I remove the scopes for rifle cleaning every time. Only a couple of times when re-installing, has the POI not exactly been where it was prior. Both times was less than 1.5" off at 100 yards. At first, I used to always check the POI with the Leupold QR & QRW rings and bases but don't even bother anymore.
As far as other MFG rings and bases. Don't know and don't wish to find out.
