ok got a quick question for you about mounts for optics.
i have a millett I need to mount. while i would love to just go out and buy one of those super cool looking larue mounts with the quick release levers but there is no way I could afford on. so my question is, is there REALLY that big of a difference in the stability of those mounts? assuming I dont want to take the mount on/off constantly what is the real is advantage of such an expensive mount? are there less expensive ones out there at a better price? is there that big of a difference from a larue to a $40 or so 1 piece mount? if you have experience with both please let me know i would really be interested in hearing your opinion. Or if you have another mount that is solid and holds zero please suggest those too! Seth |

If your going to remove the scope, you must re zero and start over, this is a fact. The exception is a LaRue mount. I tried the others (sadly). Rings and a torque wrench are quite repeatable and while I love LaRue mounts, I also have an AD Recon mount that I have no problems with removing and installing - not that there really is a need to do so on a frequent basis. |

If you're not going to swap out, just get some rings and make sure you locktite everything well.
I swap out a 3-9 and an M2 frequently, so I use LaRue QD mounts (the old style ones) I bought years before the fanboy club started here. ETA Armalite makes a one-piece. I've never used it though. |
something like this:
