So, I have KAC BUIS (because not only do I love shooting irons, but from my experience as an Infantryman I know what it's like to be stuck with a busted red dot or scope and no irons). I also have a Leupold VX-R 1.25-4x scope in a QD PEPR mount (a lot of weight) because scopes can be fun. But because I want to do 3-gun with this AR, I also have a Fastfire mounted on a DD 1 o'clock rail.
The scope is QD because I don't always want to shoot a scope, but the Fastfire is stuck there. So if I felt like playing with a red dot on a QD mount as a main sight, I would still have the fastfire sitting there, and that would get some weird looks at the range.
My ideal setup would be a QD version of the Warne RAMP mount, so when I take off the scope, the fastfire would stay with it. Then I could shoot just irons or toss another sight on it for S&Gs. But they don't make a QD version.
I could get a QD base for the Fastfire and take it off, leaving just the 1 o'clock mount there but empty -- but that just seems like a waste.
And yes, I know the Fastfire isn't really needed when using a 1.25-4x scope, except for time sensitive stuff like 3gun situations, but I plan on switching out scopes.
So, any suggestions short of getting a second rifle so I can shoot however I'm feeling? A QD 1 o'clock mount or RAMP type mount would be awesome.
