I'm considering a one-piece base to mount my main optic and for my back-up scope. The rifle is a Barrett M99. I'm not too concerned with cant on the scope bases. The scopes I'm using and planning to upgrade to have enough adjustment range to get me out to 1000 yards for match shooting.
Currently I have a SWFA SS 20X that is sitting in Barrett rings. I'd like to drop the Barret rings in favor of a QD system. The 20X will then be reserved to the back up role if the main scope fails during competition. For my main scope, I'd like to possibly go with a SWFA 5-20X. With both of those scopes sitting in QD mounts I will be ready to swap should the main glass fail.
I'd like to hear from you. What experience do you have with QD mounts. I like the idea of a one-piece base and would like to stay away from extended bases or ones that feature any type of cantilever effect. I don't need that atop the 50 anyhow. I'd also consider QD scope rings in lieu of a QD base. Pics and specific recomendations on make and model would be helpful.
Thanks,
