How about using the qr mount in the link i posted to swap between scope and red dot on the same rifle? Will this hold it's zero. So i zero say with red dot, take it off, use scope, put back red dot. Will it still be zeroed?
Depends upon the rings/mount and where you mount it. I can switch between my Barska RDS and the 3-9x32 scope and both will be close in zero, but that's because I use Leaper/UTG quick release rings for the scope and a fixed base on the Barska. Both of these mount to an 0.5" aluminum riser and not directly to the polymer rail on the frame. While not perfect, the zero shift is about .25" at 50 yards. For my shooting, that is good enough.
