The info. is much appreciated--keep it coming. My thoughts now are to scrap the t/c base and either go with the Warne Maxima base and Warne rings or try the Talley. It just depends on whether or not I'll want the quick release to switch out the scope to go with a red dot during muzzleloader season, as Wisconsin doesn't allow powered optics during muzzleloader season. I could always just keep my Omega with the red dot and use the Endeavor during gun season with the a more permanent base and rings. Then again, it might be good to use QR to take the scope off to clean it. So many things to think about! By the way, nice shooting, InRecordBookBuck. I'm think of getting the new Leupold UltimateSlam scope, but you've got me intrigued with your set-up.
