Overall the single piece scope ring is very nice and seems to be a quality product. I did take the time to polish out the rings to ensure they were fully aligned. The back ring did show a bit more wear suggesting the two rings were not perfectly aligned in the manufacturing process. I didn't intend to order the quick release mount so it was a feature I wasn't expecting when it showed up. I will say it sticks out a bit further than I would like and if you were using the mount for a more "tactical" application I could see it possibly hanging up on clothing or gear if you slung a rifle across your chest. But if you need the quick release then I wouldn't shy away from it as it secures firmly but removes easily when needed. The finish on the rings was a bit off with portions of the top of the rings having an off color from the rest of the mount. Not sure if this is a common issue with Trijicon or if it is a result of ordering from a discount program.
