    Just a point of clarification... for a 1.5" scope the typical above bore height is closer to 2.6":

    From top of rail to center of bore 1.092"

    Height of scope = 1.5"

    Total = 2.592"

    Thank you for the catch/clarification and apologies for missing that.

    kind of pointless, if you want QD, get a QD.

    You are just adding the possibility of recoil shift in two places instead of one.

    Point taken; the fact that could work is one thing but it's far from Ideal.
    Thanks guys for all the comments. The Aeroprecission mount is solid
    And very light. 3 screws is not a biggie to swap optics so I might just use that and if I find myself switching often then I would add a QD mount.

    Why not sell both optics and get a 1xWhatever with a lit reticle?

    I personally would mount up the H1 only and call it a day.
    ^^Agreed

    --Too tall.
    --Too weird.
    --Too awkward.

    Unless your eyes are mounted in your forehead.

    If you are going to use the scope, just mount it to the rail.

    You are all completely missing the obvious solution:

    Buy another upper. :-)

    Only half-joking...
