The lowest QD rings and bases I've used are Weaver. They are solid, and return to zero as well as any costing many times as much. A coin is needed to remove and replace them, but even that could be overcome with a very little bit of work. They don't look classey like scope mounts costing hundreds of dollars, but if you're not offended by inexpensive equipment that performs just as well, you might give them a try. Just be careful installing the ring caps, as they can mar the finish on the scope.

You will need to set them up right when initially installed, and for each re-installation. There is play between the slots and crossbolts. On the initial installation, put each ring on the base, and make certain to slide it forward until it stops, holding it there while the clamp is tightened. Then place the scope on the ring bottoms and install the caps. I use 20 inch-pounds on the ring screws. Each time the scope is re-installed, slightly snug the clamps, then slide the scope forward until it bumps against the front of the slot. This procedure will ensure the scope returns to the previous setting, and the rings will not move under recoil.
