Are quick (scope) detach mounts really used?

[Witchgrass]

I see quite a few rifles with quick detach mounted scopes. How accurately can these be put together, and keep zero at a given distance. I see this done in movies all the time, but how realistic is that?

Very realistic if your purchase the right ones! Do you need to detach yours or is it something that you are just interested in?

Got a Leupold one piece quick mount. Holds true all day!

On a 81 Marlin 30-30 by the way.

I’m just curious about it. I just don’t understand how the scope (as see in sniper movies) can be attached by putting the scope and mounts in a base, and twisting 90 degrees to lock it, still being 100% accurate.
I can see breaking the entire down to stuff into a super small package. But to do this and expect a highly critical shot to happen, without taking a practice shot, doesn’t seem realistic to me. Boggles my mind.

But can you take it apart, reassemble, and expect the exact same POA, every single time?

Oh no, I wouldn’t use a twist lock ever! I’m talking about throw levers!

Open sites with a 30-30 everyday ;-)

My Winchester M70 375 h&h had a lever to remove scope , was fine after switched back and forth, wish I could remember the brand and model of the bases

i use multiple different qd mounts. All are weaver rail style throw levers. A couple are on regular scopes, ones a red dot, ones a thermal. Allows me to swap from scope to red dot on AR depending on use, as well as using thermal on different rifles. The ones on the scopes hold zero extremely well. Probably better than i can shoot.

I’ve got some larue qd mounts I like because I can swap out regular scope and thermal when varmint hunting..

[BobbyJoe]

If you buy quality than yes, they will hold true zero between swaps. I’ve taken a few of my scopes off and on hundreds of times and never had to readjust.

PERP quick detach, this is what I run on my ar10 with nikon monarc and have had no issues. works great.

Burris P.E.P.R and high quality picatinny rail if rifle receiver does not already have the rail machined on it.

I swap optics frequently…I use ADM mounts and have never had any issues with POI shift. High quality mounts are the answer.
