I was fortunate enough to get a good deal on a Swiss Arms Black Special and I want to be able to switch between a 1-4x30mm with a 30 mil tube and a 5-15x40 with a 1" tube so I need two quick release mounts.
I am looking for something that can be taken off and will hold it's zero well enough that I will not have to sight the rifle in everytime I switch between scopes, if such an animal exists?
The gun came with the co witness rail from TSE, any suggetsions appreciated. Pics if possible please.
 
The key here is in the name, "quick release". The key word being release. They are meant to be quickly released if they fail. It's not generally a good idea to swap back and forth between optics as you will never get a perfect return to zero. Find a single good optic that covers your needs and stick with that.

Thanks fo the advice, I will keep that in mind.
I will usually run the 1-4 but would like to be able to put something a littler bigger on for reaching out and touching yotes at my buddies farm. I'm getting older and I don't see as clearly as I used to.
 
I would consider getting something with a minimum mag of 2x, and more adjustable mag. 2x magnification is plenty low enough for anything you'd be using the no mag of the 1-4.

A 1-4 should be plenty. There are also lots of 1-6, 1-8 and a few 1-10 power scopes now on the market.

As for having a quick release mount with almost perfect return to zero, there is no beating LaRue. The 300 yard shots in the second video were taken with the scope right after the iron sight shots were taken. I simply reattached the scope and shot the group. The result speaks for itself.

I would just mount a NF 2.5-10x, or a March 1-10x, or wait for the S&B 1-8 to actually hit the shelves. 2.5-10 is still my favorite optic for the Black Special for anything non-cbq. Good glass with a 30mm tube and 10x will be more than adequate for the Swiss' effective range.

IF you still want QR mounts, ADM or Larue are good. I prefer the Larue but they are a bit harder to find and tend to cost a bit more.
 
You will likely need a cheek riser if you use ADM or LaRue mounts as they're 1.47" high. I think the LaRue might be 1.41", please correct me if I'm wrong? The height required to clear the diopter will turn a cheek weld into a chin weld.

I just mounted a Nightforce 2.5-10x32 on my Target with a 1.125" unimount and with it's occular height it's pushing the limit of anything one could call a cheek weld on a bare stock.

I had an ADM Recon mount on my old AR15, they are just great stuff and come recommended from this hack. ;)
 
+1000 for ADM mounts. Larue is poo. :) Well, no, but pricier and rarer than ADM, and no better. I actually prefer ADM mounts to Larue any day of the week (and I've owned a TON of Larue).

+1001 for the NF 2.5-10 series.... I have a x24 but wouldn't hesitate to use the x32 model.
