Just picked up a tactical rifle, used, at a gun store. It has A.R.M.S Quick Throw rings and base on it. Looks very expensive according to this web site.

Does anyone know if they are good or not? I am temped to take off and put Leupold rings and base on. It is hard for me to trust quick release items. Any help would be appreciated.

Well, if anyone is interested, I tried it today at the range. They work as described. I got .9" groups so it holds good, and I took off and put on 4 times. 3/4 times, it held dead on zero. Last time, it was .5MOA difference. Still think I will take them off and put a set of Leupold bases and rings. It just sits a little high off the barrel for my taste. Just doesn't seem suited for hunting purposes. It is nice to be able to take off for cleaning however.

I�ve used a set of EAW QD mounts for 15 years without any trouble. I have irons on that rifle and in "thight" situations the scope has been on and off many times during the hunting seasons. Never a shift! I tested them like you did when I bought them and was convinced. On my new rifle I will also get QD mounts!

I've been using Warne QDs for many years, in both Maxima and Premier. Both return to zero every time. I have a muzzle loader that has it's scope taken off for every cleaning, literally dozens of times a year, and I have yet to have to resight the rifle in. Good enough for me.

I have no experience with the particular brand of rings and bases you mention, but I do have Leupold Quick Release rings and bases on my .270, .300 Weatherby, and .375 H&H. I recommend them highly.

Bigcountry: If your rifle is a Rem 700 or Win 70 get a set of Badger rings and a tapered Badger base. You can view pictures and descriptions of these items at www.badgerord.com or www.premierreticles.com The Badger Ordinance equipment is impressive.
