Pabucktail: Interesting question AND replies!
I am a notorious scope robber (swapper!). I have several Rifles that are used strictly either for spring/summer Varminting or for fall Big Game Hunting - thus I swap scopes often among a handfull of Rifles.
I open the rings and remove the scopes on my swappings.
My mind is racing now to figure a way to "simplify" my swappings on my Rugers!
Thanks again for the great question.
Hold into the wind
