RE: Leupold QD rings and bases?
AZBear,
QRW don't go above high so I don't think you will make a fit w/o removing the rearsight. Even if you could,you might find them uncomfortally high.
Skeeter,
I found just the opposite of you. I also don't like the vertical split on the Warne, or how the parts can fall out, but do like their bases. I found them much harder to get set properly but like the grip they give slightly better. Weaver bases are all a standard just like a picatinny 1913 rail but many manufactures don't adhere to consistant results. Me personallly I like the top mount Leupold QRW/PRW's. I ownboth. My black diamond has a set of weaver bases because no one makes a steel set I'm aware of. Zero is excellent even on the aluminum bases and they are necessary if you want to clean that rifle properly.
