Oh I will jump in on this.....
First off...Are you the same Lone Ranger from another site I know..
Well any way....I have a quick detach mount...that I found is great for being able to switch out or just for transport...
I am using the LaRue QD LT-135...it sets 1.93" to center of optic...
I think the one piece mounts are better but that is just my opinion...
Recently I have found another company that make a QD mount in the same height and style as the LT-135, and I have done some research on it but yet to acquire one, YET...LOL but I am working on it...
It is the American Defense mounts...as with the LaRue mounts the have interchangeable rings..meaning you can order a mount with 1" rings and then order 30mm rings down the road if you change tube size and visa verse....so you may check out either mount...but the major factor on what mount or rings to use is if you have BUIS and what height they are...
Either of the mounts I have suggested are high enough to clear most fold down sights...also check your scope bell on the scope as to how far off the rail you will be...that is a factor as to what BUIS you have or are going to buy....it all has to fit together..
I guess that is if you are going to add the BUIS....in the first place....here are the two I have suggested...

Not to toot my own horn...but if you want to check out how they look, the LaRue anyway, check out the article in the article section....that is the way I set mine up...
But it all comes down to what YOU want and Your personal preference..
I might add that the LaRue has a almost perfect return to zero when replaced back in the same spot and same way...and AD has told me that their mount will do the same....
Hope this has been some help....
