I have a Ruger MPR coming and plan to mount a Leopold 3-9x40 on it. I also have Magpul flip up BUIS coming and plan to mount both on the rifle. This is and will be my only AR and would like to use the gun for range shooting, coyote hunting, and since this is my only semi-auto rifle it would be the rifle I'd take with us if we ever had to leave in an emergency.
My plan is to mount the scope in a cantilever mount and never remove it, I think a standard (non QD) mount would be the most sturdy and far cheaper. The only issue is if the scope was damaged during a hunt or emergency I'd have to dig out my pliers to access my BUIS.
Is this a common way to go or would I be crazy? Should I just splurge on QD mounts even if I plan to never remove the scope under normal use?
