RE: Cleaning with a Scope
The QRW is a fantastic setup. I put them atop some Weaver Grand Slam bases (steel) on my Savage ML10II. I wont have to remove it but if I ever had to use blackpowder (I cringe at the thought) I would easily be able to remove the setup.
I have had a removable Warne setup (small base) on a Knight for over a dozen years and NEVER had a problem. Even upgraded the scope in 98 but retained the same rings and bases and never had the first problem. I removed the scope EVERY single time I cleaned the gun (that afterall is the biggest reason for having them right?) and never had so much as a hair of in-accuracy.
Getusum,
