I just fulfilled a long-standing wish by purchasing a left-handed Tikka Sporter (derived from the T3) rifle chambered in .308. Rather than using the standard Tikka mounts/rings, I purchased a very nice picatinny rail mount designed exactly for the rifle. I provides more flexibility and adaptability to a wider range of mounts.
My question is this: is it possible and practical to use a quick-release design scope mount with this setup? I'd like to be able to use a LaRue quick release mount with my new Leica optic (30mm) instead of regular rings. It seems that, once I decided to go with a picatinny mount, having the flexibility to use a quick-release mount seems straightforward. The rifle stock has an adjustable cheek rest if I have a cheek-weld/scope height issue. And having the flexibility to dismount the setup and place another one on in its place sounds interesting.
Any downside?
Thx,
B
