Has anyone tried a LaRue tactical QD cantilever scope mount?

[MRH]

I have been thinking about buying one of these to mount on an AR, so I can transition to irons from magnification with quickness, and still holding zero. It seems like a good QD mount would be a decent solution for utilizing a weapon's full potential...Besides the guy behind it, of course.

Has anyone owned one of these and are they worth the $210 price tag?

Can you give an example of when one would need to rapidly take of a scope to transition to BUIS? Like in a firefight? Some sort of competition?

Yes, they SUCK... plain and simple. they don't return to zero and Ive seen several either move under recoil and wear a channel in the receiver slots

ZROdelta or ADM are better choices

Thanks. Its hard to know which reviews to trust.

Name it. Getting as much practical use out of a weapon is important to someone on a budget, like me.

Yes, when you have multiple Eotech Failures in your company right before a mission. 1SG to company "take them all off"

REDX What about the Bobro mounts? Those seem to be priced descent and have rather well reviews online.

bobro is GTG as well

I'll look into some of these others.

I just need a solid mount that can detach quickly and hold zero or close to zero when I reattach it.

I want the choice of magnification for 100+ yards. It will be a smaller scope, but enough to get me out there to 300.

I want to be able use my iron sights at shorter distance.

I can hit 300 with irons once I'm dialed in, but with a scope it will be much quicker and easier, and with more one shot capability.

A red dot with a magnifier does not intrigue me in the least.

Nightforce Unimount. Has 2 nuts, 1/2" each. Still quick and easy to remove and, in my experience, returns to zero when a torque wrench is used. About the same price as the Larue.

I concur with REDX on his opinion on Larue QD mounts. In addition, I've seen them gouge up and mar many Picatinny rails.
