RE: Bases & Rings?
I won't own another set of std Leupold mounts. I had a windage screw loosen up on my during a hunt, so I replaced every pair I owned. Between the two you listed, I would opt for the Weaver-style bases and rings, but I prefer the ones offered by Warne. I don't like Weaver's rings, and for this type of mounting system, I prefer steel bases.
That being said, I run Talley LW's on all my bolt action rifles now, and I've never had an issue. They're simple, light and tough.
