SPEEDY Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 I just got a set of Leupold QRW rings and Weaver bases for my Remington XCR, all in all I'm very happy with them. They were very easy to install taking only a few minutes set up, and after bore sighting the rifle again I popped over the road to finish off the zero and to test the rings out. I started by Zeroing the open sights to be dead on at 50m which is about as far as my eyes can hit a target with open sights. Then when 3 shots were on target I moved onto the scope, when I was happy with where my shots were landing I set up some old drink cans filled with water at 100m. I started by shooting 3 cans then I removed the scope and placed it back on and sure enough I shot the next 3 cans, I did this process twice more with no problems so its safe to say that I am very satisfied with the new rings. I'm not too sure how it would go on a varmint rifle but I doubt that there are a lot of serious varmint rifles out there with open sights fitted, for my purpose I.e. removing the scope before flying and as a backup on a big-dangerous game rifle IMO there just about perfect.

Dunkield Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Nice write up Speedy (you might want to edit it down a bit though ) They sound the business, how much are they in Aus? I had a demo of a set of Apel mounts the other day, they just swing off and on again, and they are guarenteed to hold zero - very impressive engineering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poacher Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 I can't see the point of being able to remove the scope and put it back on without having to zero it again..... (if your going to take it off and put it back on, why bother taking it off in the first place) Am i missing something p.s nice scope speedy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rarms Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 >I can't see the point of being able to remove the scope and put it back on without having to zero it again So you can use the iron sights for shooting at close range moving targets (boar etc..) So you can bung a NV scope on it at night and go back to the day scope in the morning! Kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDY Posted November 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Actually it has more to do with taking the scope off when I fly so that the baggage handlers don’t break it, or if it is damaged on a hunt all is not lost as I can still hunt on Being able to swap scopes for up close and long rang work will also be a bonus as will swapping scopes zeroed for different ammo. It will also work great in close country with the scope off on running/charging DG like really big pigs or Buff etc. Nice write up Speedy (you might want to edit it down a bit though ) They sound the business, how much are they in Aus? The devil is in the detail they cost me AU$120 for the bases and rings about $40 pounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
