I usually switch between red dot and scope several times during each range session. I wanted to test the reliability of my set-up.
Shooting distance 50 yards with 5 shot groups
1.I zeroed the red-dot
2.Then took out the red dot, and installed the scope (Vortex Diamondback 2-7X35). I didn’t modify the setting on the scope since my last range trip. Shot the two groups on the on 2 orange 1” target. The first group isn’t that good because of a parallax issue (I made sure that my eye is on the position to minimize the parallax issue for the following shot). PEPR QD held zero
3.Took out the scope and mounted the red dot. Shot the black target. I was co-witnessing to get a crisper target/red dot. Bushnell mount held zero
4.Put back the scope and shot 2 other 5 shot groups: PEPR QD held zero
5.Put back the red dot and shot the center black target: Bushnell mount held zero
I did that a few more times, and both mounts held zero. I was hesitating getting a UTG mount instead of what came from the factory with the red dot, but after this experience, I’m going to keep this mount. It’s not a QD mount, but I could mount and dismount it with a quarter.
Overall I’m pretty happy with my set-up and wanted to share it.
