What is the best "returns to zero" quick detach scope mount out there that won't break the bank? I'm considering getting a higher power scope to compliment my 1-4 for my AR and then getting two QD scope mounts for each scope. Your suggestions [and price, if you know] would be appreciated.

Thanks!
 
Warne Maxima QD (and they make the Leupold I think) do return to zero just as stated and they are sleek with the vertical split. All three sets of mine are double rings, not sure if they have an integrated single piece.
 
How about one piece scope mount...for an AR? The Burris P.E.P.R is fine but fairly heavy.
 
Of course, I COULD just buy a longer rail riser and the Warne QD rings. Not a bad option, actually.
 
I have the PEPR QD Mount on my AR, I like it just fine but wouldn’t trust it to return to zero on a regular basis. I have it to remove the scope quickly if it fails(not to take on and off regularly) and have read too many reviews about them not returning them to zero. For an AR I’d want a one piece mount like the ADM. On a bolt action rifle I have and like Warne QD’s.
 
The ADM was just way too pricey [since I'd have to get two of them for my purposes]. For my AR, I decided to go with a rail riser and the Warne QD rings for both Scopes.

Thanks for the replies!
 
I think you will like the Warne Maxima QD rings. The vertical split is nice on sleek rifles. 3C

True. When you have the side focus knob, depending on where you have to put the scope with the rings, other scope rings can block the yards number.
 
After using various other systems on an AR with a rail, I migrated to the Leupold 1" Super High Matte Steel Mark 4 Rings. (1.4 inches high)
Use a nut driver or small wrench to detach. Not super cheap but very rugged and minimalist. Allowed me to use a detachable brass catcher by keeping the rail uncluttered.

Since you didn't specify QD with throw levers, this could still qualify :)
