Thread: Return to zero QD mounts

I lapped my Warne QD rings for my Brno Hornet. And yes, I was aware they are sintered but for a low recoil Hornet? And once you break thru the surface when lapping you understand sintered.
Use them and lap them on something a bit meatier recoil use, nop.

The reason I used QD rings was so that I could leave the rear sight attached, and not loose it. The scope height above bore just clears the rear sight by a gnats cock. I used 30mm Warne QD rings and Sinclair delrin 30mm - 1" adaptors. Despite how it sounds it is a very tidy and unobtrusive setup.

I personaaly don't like the standard Warne rings. OK if attaching scope and forgetting but if ever removing the scope by loosening, the scope becomes free to rotate inside the rings potentially requiring reset up. The std rings use a top to bottom clamping effect on the scope which is totally diiferent to how the QD rings clamp the scope. Of course with the QD rings once the assembly is removed from the rifle the scope is still securely held by the rings, as you would expect with QD.

They are a very tidy rings however, both versions.
