Picatinny punapistetähtäinkiinnike with QD mechanism | Trijicon RMR footprint

I'd been hesitant to spend so much on a mount for an otherwise mid-grade red dot optic that I recently decided to mount on my S/S Ruger Mk II Bull Barrel. After having rescued it from a shelf in my gun safe, some range time identified various issues which I was subsequently able to resolve, and during this time I was rediscovering how much fun this gun is to shoot. I'm pushing 68, and have found that optics enable me to shoot markedly better once I become familiar with the associated rig. I therefore bought the optics along with a Picatinny rail (that I'll be mounting after I drill and tap the receiver), but wanted a suitable QD RMR mount that would be solid while allowing me to quickly default back to the iron sights if called for.

I just finished mounting my optics on this Contessa QD mount, and I couldn't be more impressed. It has some features that make it an unusually robust and reliable mount, is manufactured to very tight specs, and looks awesome.

Anyone who desires a top-notch QD mount for their optics would be well served to strongly consider this mount. It took a few weeks to make its way over from Europe where it's made, but it was certainly well worth the wait!
