Poor ring alingment
As far as the QD AutoLock system goes, this is a nice design. It allows for easy, tool-less adjustment, and a very positive grip on the rail. Once set, your scope is not going anywhere! The rings are another story however. Thankfully I decided to run the 30mm lap through the rings. At first these rings only showed approximately 10-15% contact after lapping. I could not believe how out of alignment the bores were between these rings. It took between 2-3 hours of lapping, with 800 grit compound, to bring these into an 80-90% surface contact.

Not a great mount
If you are looking for a mount that will hold zero after removing and replacing your optics, this is not the one to buy. The locking levers are loose and inconsistent, even after adjustment. I could not get a consistent interface with rail and mount, and the locking levers would swivel. Each time I put it back on I got a different amount of tension. If you are just leaving the mount on your rifle, and not removing it, this will work OK. If you're switching your optics, do yourself a favor and spend the extra $20 for a GG&G or Larue. I will be.
