I'm curious what your thoughts are on Quick Release Leupold 30mm rings? I have a set and am thinking of putting them on my M14 so I can remove to use iron sites if needed. Apparently they are suppose to hold zero once removed and put back on ... anyone have experience with these rings and info? :confused:

So you have removed from the rifle and put back on without losing zero? Thanks for any help/info/experience.

they've worked fine for me on a couple of 700s. no zero change

leupold also had another QR system (dont' know if they still make it) but that was a disappointment to me - on one set the locking lever would spin right around.

make sure the QRW set you get is the newer one with the square cross posts - I one wiound up with an early one that has round cross posts
 
I have to admit, I would never have voluntarily bought a set of these rings because I typically loc-tite the snot out of everything on a scope mount, but they were the only rings I could find on short notice about a year ago and i put them to use with very surprising results!

I am now able to move my scope between all my rifles with Farrell bases and it works great! I have zeros for 3 different guns and I can easily move the scope (NF 12-42X56 BR scope) between several guns now with no problem at all.

I really like 'em.
 
I'll take pics tonight and post ... and check the actual name of them ... hope they're good to go ... ;)

Have the QRW's holding down a S&B scope on my .444 and I've pounded the scope and myself half to death with handloads. Scope has never moved - pretty slick setup, and mine's on Weaver bases which ain't my favorite brand of anything, but all I could find locally. All the same, it seems to be working just fine.
 
I went to the range today to site in my new scope with these rings on it ... I shot twice ... drove up to the backboard with my target as it's 100 yards away and it was approx -15 with the windchill ... backed up and hit my dog ... :( ... needless to say I never got to finish siting in this scope and see how these rings are!? I shall have to make another run to the range soon ... :(
