Scope Swapping

sure that could be done but you would have to put them back where they came from mounting stops would help that on a dovetail
so if using just rings and not a weaver-picatinny mount it could, would, be harder
I have never tried it but hunter have taken off scopes for hunter trips before shipping for ever and would just test after reinstalling but again hunting and shooting paper is different

I swap scopes around on different rifles all the time. The kicker is, they have picitinny rails installed. Pic rails are all standard so the scope is mounted the same but seldom do they point to exactly the same place. But if you have scopes that track well, you can record the sight settings and just dial it in after putting it on a different gun.

I use Weaver scope rings with an UTG Universal Dovetail To Picatinny/Weaver Adapter on my HW95 and R9 springers.......
With this setup it's pretty easy to swap out my pre-zero'd scopes, however I personally always need to do a bit of "zero adjustment" after the swap. LOL, seems that varying tension on the ring base screws will move the poi a bit.

Sure, get 2 sets of rings. Once the scopes are mounted and zeroed respectively, all you have to do is remove the entire scope with the rings. Mount the other one.. and vice versa. I have done this with my Impact and once you put the rings back on the same spot on the rail you will be good to go.

Get a good base / ring combo and go for it . My personal setup has been on more rifles and Airguns than I would want to count . I witness mark the grooves on the picatinny rail so I know where to put it . It will almost NEVER go back to exact perfect POI . Butitll get you within a couple clicks . My old Leupold FX3 12X was almost silver from being moved so much and held up like a champ

My Field Target ZM2002 kit has bayonet Leupold rings with cam lever lock-up. Whenever I do air travel I disconnect the scope and pack it in my suitcase with clothing padding. When I get to the competition, I remount on the rifle. Never had a problem.
I started doing this after Southwest airlines trashed out and broke the corner off my $300.00 SKB rifle case. Contents were ok but I still remove the scope for air travel.
