Quick detach scope mounts

[maximus83]

I love QD mounts and use them whenever possible to speed switching between rifles. Even if you do need to check zero or tweak, they usually DO return to for me. Also something often left out is the need with any scope to level your reticle (and I mean level the RETICLE, like to an external plumb line and not just relying on the top scope turret to level it) if shooting at any distance beyond a few hundred yards. Once you've properly leveled your reticle by rotating the scope properly and tightening in the mount's rings on a rifle that is level to the ground, you shouldn't have to loosen it in the rings again. Each rifle you move it onto, the reticle is already level. That's a time-saver right there--being able to transfer a 'level-reticle' scope between rifles, even if you do need to re-check zero.

Faves:

* AD Recon (but heavier, at 8oz)
* Scalarworks LEAP mount (spendy but awesome quality, solid mount, true RTZ, just over 5 oz)
