Thats when you need to get out there and shoot. When it's cold,snowing and raining, your hands shivering, or under extreme heat and you're hungry,tired and weak. If you can hit targets then? You can hit targets always.

I've been looking for a quick-change rifle scope mount so I can quickly and easily swap scopes around on my rifles (.22LR and .223/5.56). So far, all I've found is an ARMS #19 setup. It looks like a decent unit, but I'd like to compare a few different ones. Anyone know of other quick-change mounts? TIA

Depends on what type of scope you're using. But for traditional scopes I like...

Burris AR-P.E.P.R. 1-Piece Extended Scope Mount Picatinny-Style

Thanks for the input.

I'd call what I'm using "traditional" - see pics - but I don't know a lot about scope terminology. The biggest (physically) scope I have at this time is a 6-24x44 that is about 17" long (requires rings/mounts that are on the high side). I would like any quick-change mount I get to be able to handle up to 50mm objectives.

I have a set of Weaver Lever Lok rings that have a lever on the rail clamp screws so that they can be tightened without tools. They work well, but I'd like to find something along the same basic design as the ARMS unit.

Any suggestions for reticles? I target shoot the .22LRs at 25, 50, and, occasionally, 100 yds and the .223/5.56 at 50, 100 (and 200 yds when I feel like doing a lot of walking). I'm mainly after elevation adjustment; ranging is a distant second. I currently have two scopes with mil-dot and two with 30/30 reticles. I'm not a big fan of the 30/30 (especially with the .22s at longer ranges) and I'm still having problems doing the mil-dot ranging calcs in my head

After quite a long wait, and a lot of research, I picked up my new gun.

Sig P226 Tacops in 40 Cal.

I can't wait to take it to the range when the weather gets nice

Here are the Specs

The other two mags are still in the case.

It's kinda hard for me to make a single recommendation based on your criteria. But I can say is, if Midway doesn't have it? You probably can't get it?

Thanks for the lead. I see that American Defense Recon makes a quick-release mount that looks like it's at least very similar to what I'm looking for. And they have several rings with screw levers, a la Weaver Lever Lok.

I was hoping that quick-change mounts would be more common than they are. I guess I'll just have to keep looking. Thanks for the help. I now have two options instead of just one.

Something else just to look at.
