    There used to be a Aimpoint Rep on Lightefighter who would start his demo by taking his AP off the rifle chunking it across the range reinstalling and shooting to prove zero. Bottom line is Aimpoints are pretty durable but not to say some can't be knocked off zero.
    I'm a firm believer that the mounts are the weak point. I have a couple Primary Arms and Holosun optics on various rifles, any issue of losing zero has been fixed by replacing the factory mounts with quality ones.

    Perfect. I'm sure I'll get the in stock notice when I'm broke again. I'm sold on it though.

    My mount arrives today. I can't wait.

    I ended up ordering two ADM AD-68 Standard mounts. First one, and then a second a couple weeks later. One is on my SBR and the other, well I ended up getting an AD-68L “low” mount in an AD-68 Standard box so Optics Planet will hopefully get the exchange for the right item processed quickly.

    The Scalarworks mounts look nice but are a bit pricey considering I needed two mounts because I wanted to dump both QRP-2s.

    The Scalarworks Leap is very nice. The grip it gets on the aimpoint body is really solid compared to the Wilcox it replaced. I don't regret the $199 spent on it one bit.. so far.
