Best QD mounts for Rem 700?

[Dawnrazor]

What's people's opinions on a quick detachable system for a Rem 700?
My idea is to swap a daytime scope for a thermal scope, I can't be taking 2 rifles about where I work it's just not practical.
I've seen the Blaser system on YouTube and hope there's a similar thing for a remmy.

Picatinny rail with Warne QD rings?

Picatinny rail with Warne QD rings?

Ive a Third Eye Tactical rail and mounts but I'd change if I needed too, I'd hope not to given the chance because the quality of the Third Eye Tactical stuff is superb but needs must, I'm not a fan of the Warne mounts I've seen.

What didn't you like about them?

The Blaser mount goes back to zero superbly, and is hard to beat tbh.

But there are few other good systems; the Tier one monomount together with a their rail is very sturdy indeed, although not cheap! Other QD base mounts that are pretty good for returning to zero are the as mentioned Warne QD's, also the Talley lever QD's, I personally quite like the Talleys, but as with all vertically split rings, just go carefully when setting them up to make sure all pins are even and equal when torquing down, as they're not quite as forgiving on your scope tube as conventional rings.

Leupold qrw are very good, have two sets on my Sako Quad and a Warne set, fitted to a Tier one rail. Must admit I prefer the Leupolds,

Also very happy with blaser system. Got every confidence of everything returning to zero. Think someone on here found a piccatiny rail that had blaser slots cut into it so could work with both systems.

If you can source one the Midwrst Industries QD mounts are very good and very repeatable

I haven't used them myself but I’m planning on getting a set of American defence QD mounts. Read very good thinks about them.

I don't like the vertical set up and they've always looked "cheap" to me.

Thermal would almost certainly have Picatinny mount so unless going custom you'd be looking at QD Picatinny mounts on your scope and keeping the Third Eye rail.

I don't like regular Warne since you cannot take scope off w/o messing up (same screws hold scope to rings and rail) but Warne QD are nice and repeatable.

With Picatinny you want some way to ensure you attach the scope and thermal to same slot every time.

Yes, I agree. The vertical set-up is annoying.

I use them on DG rifles because they are so solid and repeatable. Haven't used them on a picatinny or on a stalking rifle though.

By the way, Spuhr are now doing a QD one-piece mount for a picatinny. If you don't mind the whole 'tactical' look, they are bound to be solid as a rock.

I have two M700s with iron sights, Warne bases, and scopes in Warne QD rings: .270 and .30-06, both holding and reattaching to zero.

I used Leupold QRW on a .375 H&H which worked great.

That's the ones that cought my eye, they look proper sturdy, my rifle takes a bit of a pounding being bounced and bumped on the front of the quad and argo, the Third Eye Tactical ones I have been absolutely fantastic and I'll want the same rugged quality, I wish Third Eye Tactical made a set of QD's as I'd get them.
