Anyone know how solid these rings are. I really only want to use my scope when I am deer hunting in a tree stand. For the most part I'd like to just use the iron sights. What I am asking is does anyone have experience removing the scope and putting it back on without the point of aim getting messed up?

TeeRex: Sir; MHO; anytime you tighten or loosen any bolt or move any part; we are subject to the perfect spacing when replacing. Can it be done? yes? is it 100% reliable? I too; have a set of these 'rings'. They are as good as you can purchase.
I too enjoy the handgun hunting; using only iron sites.

I have a Redhawk. Presuming the rings are similar, IF you torque the screws holding the rings to the gun the same each time you reinstall them, WITHOUT removing the rings from the scope, it should be close enough to put you on the paper when you put it back on. You will, of course, check your zero, won't you?

I had some QD mounts on a Winchester 88 carbine once, operated with a lever on each ring. They allowed easy removal and replacement, but the point of impact was likely to be off a bit at 100 yards. Not always, but always check your zero when taking the scope off and putting it back on. Get a FAT wrench to keep the torque the same and you should be close. You'll most likely be within "minute of Whitetail" of where it was before you took it off, at least out to 75 yards or so.
