That said a scope zeroed in Talley LW's would, I bet, be damn close if you took it out then put it back in them. If your going to crank the up-down turret very much you better get it back in there plumb.

RD - I hear those QRs are very good about off/on keeping proper zero. It's not a bad way to go from the start esp. if one is traveling and/or hunting in remote areas.
An FXII or M8 in 4x or 6x is small and light and cheap 'insurance.' I bought those mounts after my woes with my then Leupold's constantly loosing zero after airline travel. Sometimes they would be an inch off at 100 but I've had them shift as much as 4 inches at 100 yrds. I've since replaced them with more durable scopes so I might just replace those rings/bases with Talley 2 pc mounts. The Leupold QR's are very good mounts at returning to zero when taking scopes on and off rifles.

That's true, though in my limited experience with Leup QR's (1 set, 2 rifles) I'd not be trusting them to RTZ well enough to just be spinning turrets without some test shots (zero check) anyway... That's what I meant by "normal hunting purposes". Turret spinning is- IMHO- outside of normal.
The CENTER will hold.

RD thanks, long ago I used DD base/rings vs. old Windage adj.
Is the latter what you had shift in the past?

It was the Leupold scopes that were loosing zero, not the bases/rings.
