Do you use a quick detach optic mount?

[maroonandwhite]

Do any of you guys use a quick detach mount for your AR optics? Right now all I have is a red dot but am considering also getting a low power scope but would want to be able to swap them out without messing up zero. I am sure a red dot will not see much difference in zero provided I use a quality mount but am wondering about a scope.

 

I also see folks that only run a red dot and irons with quick detach. If you can run co-witness what's the point? Is there another reason I am not thinking of?

Yes. I use a Larue. Never had a loss of zero with it either red-dot or a 1x4 scope.

[KKing]

Yes, two Larue's and one American Defense. Never seen a shift in zero with either. The scopes are a 1-4 and a 1-6, the other mount is used on a red dot

[TNMTBik3r]

None of my scopes are currently using a QD mount. But I would have no problems using one, from a quality brand. I know from others they are reliable and hold zero if removed.
My red dot mount is QD.

all my mounts are Larue, it allows me to tear the rifle all the way down a reassemble it back to zero.

Larue lt104 with a leupold vxr patrol 3-9. So far, so good. I'd check out their combo scope and mount deals they seem to be priced well.

I use an American Defense on my ACOG...no problems.

I guess I've never seen the point of QD on an optic or scope.  The only thing I can see it being practical for is an optic magnifier.

Being able to switch from a magnified optic to a red dot without a re-zero sounds pretty good to me.

I have had good luck with American Defense on a 10 power scope.  A Larue on an EOTech, and a Bobro on an ACOG.  Those are the only combos I have tried.

I use ADM QD mounts on two of my rifles. Never had a problem going back to zero.

I have days where I just simply feel like shooting with irons only. Easy off, easy on, no loss of zero.

ive heard good things about the burris pepr mount 

[Peace]

PEPR QD w/ a Leupold 3.5-10.  - when the aimpoint PRO is not on it.

 

I don't seem to have a problem with it.   :pleased:

PEPR QD.

[atlas3025]

I have had several PEPR's, and they are great mounts as far as I can tell, though I have never tested the return to zero with them.  My only real gripe with them is how heavy they are.  

[whitewolf001]

G,G,&G, excellent mount and holds my Battlezone to zero every time it is removed.

I use ARMS QR mounts for my M1A for both optics because I have two seperate optics for that particular rifle. I use the Aimpoint M2 with an M68 mount for standard NATO ball ammo (for ranges 100 yds or less) and for long range I have my 3rd Gen Springfield scope dialed in for 168 grain FGMM. This gives me the greatest use without compromising.

Larue makes the best QD's in the industry - my Micro T-1 sits on my 6920's rail securely.

 

Buy with confidence. 

 

Enjoy the dillo dust.  Good on burgers, steaks and occasionally chicken.

LaRue or Bobro. ADM does make some nice mounts as well.
