quick release ring and base system
« on: December 19, 2008, 03:00:53 PM »
If you had to make a decision between the talley and the leupold QR system which one would you choose? 


Thanks

Talley because they're lighter than the Warnes. Leupold over the Warnes for the same reason. I would not get the lever type rings. I'd get the type you need a screw driver fto remove the scope but that's my preference.

Warne is out of the question because I am not a fan of the weaver base.  Between the Leupold and the Talley which one consistantly returns closer to zero?

Thanks

Never tried any others but can't complain about my Leupold QR. Never considered QR till I got Encore Muzzy needed to swap scopes for different state laws. Some no scope some 1X and others have what you want! Few times I switched from 1X to my 3X9 no adjustment needed for zero.

I too do not care for the weaver and QR style rings. They aren't the best at holding zero...

 BUT I do like the Leupold QR base and rings setup. I have it on two of my muzzle loaders. As Hogrdr said, some states I hunt, do not allow magnified scopes and it allows me to remove and retain zero.
 I also have it on a 1895 Marlin. I don't really care for scopes on levers, that's what bolts are made fore. (IMHO)  But this allows for a quick removal and not worrying about zero. They have worked very well, everytime I check them after removal, they are easily within acceptable distance to hit what I am aiming at.
