Good post Tom. I've put Warne's on several rifles. In all but one case, they have been very stout and dependable. The only issue I had was with their rings for the tapered dovetail on a Sako 75. They were loose and sloppy...a no go. When I called, they said that the dovetail dimensions had apparently changed and Sako wasn't good at providing them with the correct specs. They said sorry and that they were going to discontinue that mount. Oh well, I ended up with Talley's that worked very well so no major problem.
