Several years ago, a friend I had deer hunted suggested we go Elk hunting. This was several years before I worked at Warne. I was hunting with a Browning BAR 30.06 equipped with an original Redfield scope and rings. We were hunting the thick, very wet rainforest of the Oregon Coast Range. Being an Eastern Oregon Mule deer hunter, this was new to me.
It was the opening morning of elk season. My first time in the woods hunting elk and seeing elk was exciting. On the way out, heading back to the road, I slipped, and all my weight came crashing down hard on my scope, rings, and rifle, slamming into a fallen tree. The scope and one of the rings were damaged. It would not hold a zero afterward, so my hunt was over.
A Few Reasons for Using Quick Disconnect Scope Rings.
QD rings for a backup scope.
You just traveled hundreds of miles for that special short hunting season. Maybe even hiked miles into backcountry then opening morning you accidentally damage your scope or maybe the scope sprung a gas leak and is all fogged up on the inside. Now the rest of your hunt is ruined you must drive back to the nearest town which is a quarter to a half of a tank of gas away and hope you can buy a new scope there. Then there is the process of mounting and zeroing without a range upsetting other hunters having to do it in the woods. Having a backup scope in QD rings already zeroed and ready to attach can save your hunt and a lot of grief and gas money.
QD Rings for switching optics for different kinds of shooting.
If you have a favorite rifle and you want to do different kinds of shooting with it, having rings you can quickly disconnect and reconnect later while maintaining your zero is a big advantage. This is a great feature for those with a higher power scope for a certain kind of hunting and another optic for close-range hunting, or perhaps shooting with expensive hunting ammo and shooting with low-cost plinking ammo with different. Using Warne QD Rings, you can quickly switch from one optic to another.
One of our customers mentioned that he uses Warne QD rings when hunting deer in Bear Country because he can remove the scope to use open sights just in case a bear attacks while he is field dressing or dragging a deer out of the woods. Open sights are faster for close-range unexpected encounters.
Saving space in gun safe using QD Rings.
Some shooters have their gun safes crammed full of guns. Sure, some will say get another safe but for some, there is no space left in their house for one more. Scoped rifles take up a lot of room in the safe and you don't want expensive optics bumping and scraping against rifles that could damage them. Just by removing the scopes with QD Rings, you can store them safely on a separate shelf in the safe and reconnect them for shooting with no loss of zero. Then you can fit a lot more rifles safely in your safe. Just remember to note which scope belongs to which rifle.
Hence the demand for quick detach scope mounts. With Warne quick disconnect rings you can feel confident knowing that if you remove your zeroed optic that when you put it back on your rifle it will return to zero.
Quality Quick Detach Scope Mounts That Returns to Zero.
We offer both one-piece mounts and scope rings with quick detach options.

Quick Disconnect mounts for AR15 style rifles.
AR15-style rifles have so many accessories on the market. Warne was one of the first scope mount manufacturers to develop an MSR mount for the AR15-style rifle. Because of the multiple capabilities of the AR15, some shooters like to go between red dots and magnified optics. A Warne QDXSEL is the perfect QD scope mount for an AR15 shooter to switch optics quickly while maintaining zero.
