Cool!
Few questions:
1. Can older/current mounts be fitted with this?
2. Any weight savings over current lever mounts?
3. I know current lever mounts are bulletproof, but might these prove to be more so?

I could see this for my ACOG, since I have no other optics for it. Would save my knuckles when charging.

But for flashlights, bipods, etc, I would definately leave the QR levers on for quick customization...

Now I gotta go out and buy more stuff to mount, 'cause every, single mount I have is a LaRue already!

Keep the innovations coming, Mark!!!!

Could the QD levers be added later on to the VFZ mounts?

that's what i was thinking this would be good for the R700 mount set

will these be cheaper than the throw lever setups?
Contrariwise, if it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic.

That could be a key thing for a lot of us who are just outfitting range toys, especially with today's economy.

So they're basically regular rings (albeit high quality ones), but instead of the traditional screw to tighten, you tighten a tension nut instead.

Same for me, I'd have a ton of LaRue stuff, but for what I would use it for, I can't justify the price, when i look at how much ammo i dont have, and could get with the money!

Hadn't thought about that, but I'd be just as happy with the LT buis this way.
