Pulsar's QD Mount..... worth trying out?

Well, I went with an Apex XQ38, and love it. Except the mount... it seemed nice and solid at first, and it does seem to be built well, but it shook loose twice on me during my trip to Texas.
Originally I was going to leave the thermal permanently installed on one rifle, (.277 Wolverine build) but after using the scope I think I'd like to be able to put it on my 270WSM once in a while, as well.
Looking at the Pulsar QD mount, it only has one mounting/locking point whereas most others seem to have two... has anyone tried this mount? It's at a good price on Pulsar's website right now, but if it's not reliable, I'd rather spend a little extra on a better one.

(This guy was shot with the 270WSM, not the rifle with the Thermal.)

Yes, I have one right now and been using it a month or so. So far the mount has worked flawlessly. I would not recommend spending the ridiculous price of $250 when you can get this Pulsar mount that works just as good for $40.

I dunno, I just can't use a $40 mount on a $5,000 thermal scope and expect it to work as well as the $250 dollar mount. Things just dont work out that way.

The D-loc and the Pulsar after market mount both have good reviews though.

If the $40 dollar mount works for you though then go for it.

If it makes y'all fell better, the $40 is only an introductory price. The price is supposed to go up well over $100

If it makes you feel any better Mark, the trail line have known problems and issues with returning to zero. Its not the mount FYI.

My Apex Pulsar XD50A held zero okay for a while then I noticed the screws holding the scope to the mount came loose. I put a little blue locktite on the screws. Seems OK for now, need to see how it holds up over time.

Its the trail model that Im having problems with, not the apex

I received word today the Pulsar branded (or sold) mounts won't be in until late Jan-early Feb.

I have their QD mount on my RXQ it leaves a lot to be desired for sure simply due to the fastening mech. Mine works and I'm used to it and I had the pic rail notch come loose, but used loctite no more issues. Had it since late May no zero issues or antying liek that. I like that zero delta? Not sure if that is the name buddy has one super slick.
