They provide great versatility by giving me the option to choose the most appropriate pre-zeroed optic for the task at hand. While QD mounts were always convenient, many people worry about what accuracy they may be sacrificing by not utilizing a fixed mount. Curious myself, I decided to test out how well the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobroengineering.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"can-qd-mounts-maintain-zero-meet-bobro-engineering\" title=\"Can QD Mounts Maintain Zero? Meet Bobro Engineering\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobroengineering.com\/?utm_source=GunsAmerica\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"can-qd-mounts-maintain-zero-meet-bobro-engineering\" title=\"Can QD Mounts Maintain Zero? Meet Bobro Engineering\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bobro Engineering QD mounts<\/a> would hold zero when being taken off and then re-attached to the same rail slot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For my test, I used three different Bobro Engineering QD mounts: two dual levers, and one single lever mount. For each mount, I would fire three 3-round groups, detaching the optic from the top Picatinny rail between each string of fire. Before firing the next 3-round group I would reattach it back to the same rail spot by pushing the mount forward against the Picatinny rail slot before locking this whole scope in place using the QD throw levers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For all of the testing, I used my savage 110 FCP-SR with a 24\u201d barrel and shot <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hornady.com\/ammunition\/rifle\/308-win-168-gr-bthp-match#!\/?utm_source=GunsAmerica\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"can-qd-mounts-maintain-zero-meet-bobro-engineering\" title=\"Can QD Mounts Maintain Zero? Meet Bobro Engineering\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hornady 308 Win 168 gr BTHP Match<\/a> rounds. Traditionally I have had good groups with these rounds, so I figured I would use them for this test. After getting a rough zero for each of the three scopes, I started testing groups. I was mainly looking for shifts in accuracy since I knew this rifle and ammunition combo would have good precision. I would fire three rounds no quicker than 15 seconds between each shot and then would walk down to take pictures and mark my groups leaving a few minutes in between each 3-round string of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First up was the Bobro dual lever mount paired with the EOTECH VUDU 5-25. I shot my three groupings from 100 yards and had one flyer on both the second and third groups. Including the fliers, from the first to the second group, the average center shifted left by .21&#8243; (0.21MOA) and up by 0.04&#8243; (0.04 MOA). From the second to the third group the average center moved right 0.44&#8243; (0.44 MOA) and up 0.05&#8243; (0.05 MOA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" title=\"Can QD Mounts Maintain Zero?

These groups were shot at 50 yards mainly due to the VUDU\u2019s SR3 reticle pattern. The center dot took up most of the center square on the target and shooting from any further away without a crosshair would be difficult for precise groups. From the first to the second group, there was a 0.28&#8243; (0.56 MOA) shift down, and a 0.06&#8243; (0.12 MOA) shift left. From the second to the third group, there was a 0.07&#8243; (0.14 MOA) shift up, and a 0.06&#8243; (0.12 MOA) shift to the left. Nevertheless as seen below, the groupings are very close and have much overlap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" title=\"Can QD Mounts Maintain Zero?

I also shot these three groups at 50 yards. I found this distance the easiest to clearly see the edges of my tinfoil marker to make consistent and precise shots with this thermal scope. From the first to second groups I had a 0.20&#8243; (0.40 MOA) shift up and a 0.02&#8243; (0.04 MOA) shift to the right. From the second to third groups I had a 0.18&#8243; (0.36 MOA) shift down, and a 0.02&#8243; (0.04 MOA) shift to the left. Again, these groups may have had slight shifts, but most rounds were still going through the same nickel-sized hole. Taking into account my shooting error, and the maximum precision of my rifle\/ammo combo, there are other factors at play, but overall these results looked very promising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" title=\"Can QD Mounts Maintain Zero?

While most other QD mounts have been able to slide quite a bit between each Picitanny slot, the Bobro mounts have very little play. This leads to less possible movement within the rail slot if you aren\u2019t attaching it carefully, and very good repeatability for maintaining your zero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Can QD Mounts Maintain Zero?

The locking bar is longer than that of most other QD mounts which gives more leverage for clamping them on (don\u2019t need to torque these mounts down extremely tight, but the longer the lever the easier it is to attach while using the same clamping force). These levers provide plenty of room to get your fingers around for removing the QD mount even while wearing thick gloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" title=\"Can QD Mounts Maintain Zero?

The shift of zero I have seen has been 0.6 MOA at worst, and negligible at best. For being mounted to my night hunting rifles, this has been more than good enough for me. Most of my shots are within 250 yards and these QD mounts have not failed me yet. As with everything, consumers have to weigh their pros and cons, and while a reputable two-piece mount could hold a better zero, the quick interchangeability with minor POI shifts is something I deem worthwhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobroengineering.com\/?utm_source=GunsAmerica\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"can-qd-mounts-maintain-zero-meet-bobro-engineering\" title=\"Can QD Mounts Maintain Zero?
