Can QD Mounts Maintain Zero? Meet Bobro Engineering

As one who switches between day and night optics often, quick detach or QD mounts have been an excellent tool in my toolbox. While QD mounts were always convenient, many people worry about what accuracy they may be sacrificing by not utilizing a fixed mount. Curious myself, I decided to test out...

Good to know.
I have several QD mounts and have bot had zeroing issues unless the mount is not secured tight enough upon re attaching

Killer, how do you remember what slot to put the QD back into?

I use QD mounts on my M4, Sig Optics sight and Sig Optics magnifier. My rail on top has numbers and I have it marked where each QD mount attaches. I've removed them several times for various reasons. For a year or so, I would always go out to the range and make sure my 50/200 yard zero was still on, and it always was. I don't remove the optics anymore now that the rifle if finished but the QD mounts seem to hold zero very well.

I like your “numbers” idea. Easy but brilliant!! Thanks

I’ll my rail slots came from numbered from the manufacturer

Yes. The answer is yes.

 

[Pitdogg2]

Yes repeatedly.

I tried a QD mount on one of my AR’s a few years back and although it held zero fairly well I didn’t like it, old school and more comfortable with regular scope mounts.

I like QD’s only for my rifles that swap between thermal and day sights.
Other than that, I go traditional rings

ARMS mounts and LaRue both made repeatable QDs for just about anything you can imagine.

Great article

I don't think I would use a QD mount for a rifle scope. Just because of the practicality of it. I have no doubt a good mount would stay put though. The QD mount for the 510C that sits on my shotgun definitely holds zero and I ain't shooting a lot of birdshot through it.

Larue mounts are pretty much bomb proof.....very good quality
