Swapping scopes

[Corf30]

Is there/what is the best way of being able to swap a scope over for thermal and back again without loosing zero on a normal rifle similar fashion too a blaser ?

I have QR inomounts on my Swarovski Z8i and Thermion XP50. Quick and easy to swap and aways returns to zero.

Have a look at the Ziegler mounting system. Have them on my Sako 85, fantastic bit of kit! Bloody expensive tho!

I've got Warne QD mounts on my 223 - S+B day scope, sub 1 minute switch over to the Yukon Photon for night foxing. Repeated swaps and testing on the range to prove to myself that it works every time - no discernable difference in POI

Sounds like a cry for help - to get another rifle so you don't have to faff about with different scopes.

the simple way is probably get a picatinny rail if possible for blazer with easy detachable mounts like Tier One.
Thats what I used. I did use a torque screwdriver but think its a bit of a waste of money. I could get 1" accuracy no problem without the torque driver.

tip is mark the notches on the rail you use for each scope and you could have as many scopes as you like

Like a Blaser or on a Blaser? Or specifically what model of rifle do you have?
As someone might be able to point you in the direction of something that will fit.
Most of my rifles are fitted with Picatinny rails. Along with fitting the mounts correctly (pushed forward) and then torqued to the specific setting. Then I have no problem swapping between day and night. Or swapping barrels in my Sauer along with their respective scopes.

EAW swing off mounts 100% repeatable, needs one base set and two top sets, not cheap but there will be years of happy ownership ahead.

Cheers for replying it's a browning x bolt I was thinking of having a dialable scope mounted but future proving myself for buying a thermal scope one day

Cheapest way is probably getting a Picatinny rail fitted. Then buy yourself a torque screwdriver or something in inch pound’s. You are not dealing with very tight bolts, you just want to get them the same every time.
There are other take off mounts. But they tend to have an eye watering price tag. To go with the engineering involved in making them.
Picatinny is the military standard and produced by all and sundry. Prices from a few pounds upwards. Just avoid the cheapest stuff.
I have some adjustable mounts on my Photon and decent steel ones on everything else. Nothing prohibitively expensive.

Picatinny rail with Innomount QR mount.
Innomount is very good and very reasonable priced.
Easy to do yourself.
