I do not but I looked at them before for my gas gun. why would you want QD on a bolt gun?..

For that kind of money I’d recommend going with a more well known mount.

For the same reason you would want QD on any gun.........

I was looking at a Spuhr but they don’t do the 35mm in QD. I stumbled up Midwest Industries and they seem to make quality product so I’m wondering if anybody has any actual hands on experience with them?

to remove the scope if it gets damaged in battle to use the backup iron sights?

that's pretty sporty...

Nothing nearly that exciting........ You know to be able to remove the optic for traveling or sharing between rifles if needed.

then why not use a tool? it is much more repeatable with fewer parts to fail, as well as cheaper...

Are you trying to kill my buzz here? I've just got it in my mind that's what I'm interested in.

haha, no, sorry, not trying to kill your buzz. just trying to save you some money and hassle...

I go back to Lowlight saying QD mounts have no business on a precision rifle. I can't find where he said this but here's something from Accuracy Tech saying essentially the same thing -- Just Say No

Haha. I have to concur. I’ve got a QD on my HD rifle just in case I need to get it off quickly for the iron sights.

To be honest, you probably won’t get much feedback on the MI. For that money, I am guessing a lot of people just go with a more proven platform.

I have 2 of the 30mm with the 2qd levers and 2 1” with 2qd levers. They work well. I don’t switch scopes around and back to the original so can’t tell you about the repeatability but I can say they are really solid mounts. Those levers can really clamp hard.

These were given to me otherwise I would buy permanent attach ones given a choice.

If you not finding what you need you can always stuff a tool in your bag or get a little pouch that slips on you sling. I thing tab gear sells them. I have them on my hunting rifles with a few Allen keys or a cut or wrench in case something gets screwy.
Scratch/mark a indicating mark in the screw and when tightned to proper torque mark the mount.
Do the same for the other rifle.
No more torque. Not a "quick" release but able to be moved around.
