type44q 13 Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 (edited) I've found some reasonably-priced mounts that apparently fit both the Saiga 12 and 223. I think they're both made by the same company (a Chinese firm also known for making extremely inexpensive optics) and I was wondering if anyone's tried either (or preferably both) mounts. I'd love to have the 'quick detach' feature but I was wondering if it would hold its zero as well as the fixed model. Any thoughts?

Donkismash 81 Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 I have tried most of the QD side mounts and the KV-04s from K-Var is the best IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A good quick detach will hold zero just as well as a fixed mount - if it is not removed. If it is constantly taken off and put back on, you will probably see issues over time. My K-VAR mount eventually got a bit loose on the setting I had, because I removed it too often. Just treat the quick detach as a fixed mount that can be removed in an emergency. Best in my view are the quick detach mounts that allow use of irons _without_ removal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hellraiser 6 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 well i got a cheapo quick detach side mount in the deal when i picked up mine. i mounted a bushnell trophy series red dot on it and its worked quite well. if i detach it and put it back on making sure its all the way forward and on tight it holds zero pretty well.

Ruffian72 548 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Quick detach, because all things can fail, if not a co-witness, or see through set up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
