Hey guys...
Lookin' for a couple scope mounts... One for my Savage FVSR Rifle... Then a couple for flat top AR's... I want some quality stuff... So obviously Larue is in the short list... But what else should I be looking at? Prefer something with QD's because I like to remove my optics for storage. Anybody got some input? |

Don't remove scopes and expect to retain zero. You won't. With quality QD mounts the shift in POI can be very, very minimal. As in not enough to ever worry about. There have been many tests done to validate this. I have some that repeat within a minute or so. Not good enough at long range. |

Well, everyone around here knows my bias. If you have a LaRue question, ask away. Their mounts are guaranteed to return to zero... Reliably. Having demo'd their kit for several years, I have to constantly remove and replace optics on the sticks hundreds of times. As long as the same optic goes back onto the same gun in the same spot... And the mount is adjusted properly... You will be GTG. The only time I have to confirm zero is when I either have loaned out the guns, or I throw the Gemtechs onto them (whom I am also ProStaff for). |

It's really simple, Larue for AR's and Badger for bolt guns. why not these for bolt guns: http://www.laruetactical.com/larue-tactical-34mm-2-piece-qd-lt808-34 or http://www.laruetactical.com/larue-tactical-ultra-low-mount-rings-qd or http://www.laruetactical.com/larue-tactical-30mm-2-piece-qd-lt-123 all are QD return to 0 rings |

Thanks for all the input guys...
Think I'll probably just stick to Larue... Pricey... But return to zero is very important to me. I just hate having my guns with their optics boucing around on each other when I put them in the safe... Taking the optics off prior to putting them in their racks helps immensely. |

Sounds like its time to buy a bigger safe. |

I like it when they bump & grind in there. In fact, I even leave the lights on low and play Barry White albums to them hoping for perhaps a new Baby Browning from the action.  |

LOL... Eric... That was freakin' hilarious...
As for the bigger safe thing... I'm at capacity as far as floor space goes in this tiny little house of mine... No more room for gun safes unless I start putting them in the garage. Even then I'd have to figure out how to rearrange what I have out there now. I'm working on finding some property and building a home... This starter box I bought when I was 21 is just too darn small anymore... Can't imagine what I'd do if I had kids. |
