Abstract
A method and apparatus for releasably mounting an optical device on a support member in a rapid, repeatable and precise manner is provided. The mounting system is especially suitable for releasably mounting an optical device such as a sighting scope on a projectile firing apparatus such as a rifle. The mounting system includes one or more studs, each having a groove provided therein, and a corresponding number of rotating shafts. Each rotating shaft interacts with the groove in the corresponding stud to releasably lock the studs in a support member. Each stud is mounted directly or indirectly on an optical device, and each rotating shaft is received in a support member mountable, for example, on a projectile firing apparatus.
