Spuhr vs Scalar Leap

[Tiker]

Looking at some higher end scope mounts and would like to hear some opinions about the Spuhr vs LEAP mounts.
Would be used on semi auto rifles firing 308 or smaller calibers.
They look like they have the same features, but the LEAP is quite a bit lighter. LEAP's quick detach system also looks lower profile.
So what does the Spuhr have over the LEAP?

Spuhrs are available with quick detach.

Right, those are the ones with the QD levers. I was just saying how the LEAP’s QD system looks slicker as its not levers

Completely coincidentally I just watched this vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUxvTd9f7C8

I myself only own LEAP red dot mount, and it's really awesome.

thanks for the vid. Now that return to zero is covered, how about other aspects?

You have to realize that Spuhr mounts are part of a system... it's designed to be used with add-on accessories featuring the spuhr interface.

If weight is an issue, you can look at the Spuhr hunting series mounts which comes in one-piece and cantilever styles.

Those are superior to the Leap mount? If so, in what way?

I guess you didn't read my first sentence...

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but are you saying the benefit of the Spuhr mounts is that they allow adding on other things? Other than that, they provide no benefits at all over the Leap?
