So, I'm about to put an Aimpoint CompM2 on an Ultimak rail. The beauty of the setup is that it is lowlowlow, and you can cowitness with the irons. However, adding a QD ring raises it somewhat. My questions are:
1. Is a QD even needed? I mean, if the batteries die, I can still use the irons through the scope. How likely is the optic to be damaged so badly you can't even see through it?
2. What's the lowest QD mount you can get?
3. What about this setup:

Any reason that would not fit the bill of being very low AND quick-detach? Sure, it might not rezero, but if I'm ditching the optic, I really don't care about rezeroing...it's probably destroyed.
This is a semi-dupe of a thread in Accessories: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=289784
Thanks,
