Anyone use Quick Release rings on an inline scope?

[Tannhauser]

So I'm thinking ahead to next year's muzzleloader season as tomorrow will by my last day ML hunting in VA. For next year I want to set up a CVA Optima with the shorter LOP youth stock. I think I want to get a rifle with fiber optic sights, and then install a picatinny rail. I've set up some of my bolt action hunting rifles that are old enough to come from the factory with iron sights this way, and I use Quick Release rings on the scope.

Has anyone done this? I'm curious if a good set of Warne QR rings will hold up to 105+ gr of BH209 recoil? I have a lightweight Rem 700 I had rechambered in .35 Whelen, and that rifle kicks like an angry mule shooting 250 gr bullets over max charges. QR rings have held zero no problem on this rifle, so I'm thinking a similar set up on a ML would be equally without issue.

I’m thinking that your thinking is correct.

You won't have a problem with the Warne or any other quality QR Rings.

I have been using them for several years - darn good rings... Leupold also make a very similar set of rings.

Im not all that thrilled with "sintered steel" when you can get something else for close to the same cost. Ive used Warnes for ages though with no problems. QR is not that high on my list as long as "easy release" and return to zero is still there. Loopie PRW2 rings come to mind as well as a few others.

I’ve also used the Leupold rings with excellent results. Looking at the Rem 700 I mentioned in the OP, I’m actually using Leupold rings, so there you go!

I sighted my .50 Apex in nearly 10 years ago using the CVA provided base and Warne quick detachable rings. The scope has been on an off the rifle many times for cleanings and I had an annual routine of firing a couple of shots before season to make sure it was still on. It always was. I haven't hunted in a few years now (and may never be able to again) but I would be willing to bet that rifle will still put them through a target just where it always did.

I have had great luck with Leupold QRW rings.

I use mostly weaver and warne stuff and have never had a problem

 

[dbowling]

same here never a problem with Warne or any other QR rings always stay zeroed.

I have the Leupolds on my Mountaineer & they’ve handled 130 grains BV of BH209 with no problems.
This IS NOT an approved or recommended load for Knight

I have used Leupolds for years and always true to zero. No problems. Good luck
