    The Dumbest Dumbest quesion of the year

    Howdy All,
    I am not for sure this is the place to ask this, BUT I didn't have a clue where would the right place be.
    What I am looking for is a double question: Have any of you guys that shoot long range ever took your scope and rings, mount, ect. off of your upper and then put it back on, and it be dead on??? If so, what rings, mount, ect. are you using to get the job done??

    Back before I got injured I would of said NO. There has been so much new stuff that has been made in the last 10 years, who would know!

    What I am wanting to do is be able to put a Big scope on my Grendel build set it up to be a tack driver and then if the need be, i want to be able to throw my night scope on it,and it be allready tuned and then be able to put my long range scope back on and it be dead on???????????????????????????????????????????????

    I am sure that there are a lot of shooters on here and I hope they have been successful!
    If this post is in the wrong place please move, if this post is so dumb it hurts your eyes to read please delete!
    I would be much great full for any advice?

    Most quick release or pictiny rail mounted scopes will hold 1 MOA at 100yd. Generally I have seen that or less. I try to place the mount pressed either up or back against the slotted groove, as to ensure it is as close to the exact location that it was when it was originally configured.

    I understand what you are trying to do. There is at least one company that "guarantees" consistent accuracy with their QD mounts, that is Larue. I don't know how well they do for true long range shooting but in the 3 gun world, they live up to that guarantee very well. You might check out their website for yourself, see if you want to give theirs a try. I will tell you, they aren't cheap but are very very nice mounts.

    Larue mounts. If you are going to go long, make sure you get the ones with 20 MOA built in. (Please don't ask me how I know! LOL!!)

    I've taken mine off, shipped my rifle around the country for stuff, got it back, and the zero is still good.

    I've used Bobro, ADM, and LaRue mounts, and all return to zero quite well.

    "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

    When you remount the scope always push forward against the slot then tighten the mount. The force is against the front of the mount when you fire. If there is a space between the mount and your upper repeated firings will loosen over time.
