Hmmm gatgun,
I remember them ............................... The Gat that is. They are better made than those Millets scope rings you suggest. I made the stupid mistake of buying some. Talk about cheap "Monkey metal" They went down the road very quickly. Poorly made and very poorly finished. In fact I would go as far as saying total rubbish.

Sorry cannot help there as never had any Warne mounts. The vertically split type are not my favourite. They always seem to take a long time to get the scope vertical 
for some reason as I tighten them up the darn scope always twists out of vertical.

Warne get too much stick, once they're fitted right they really stay in place, and I've even dropped my rifle off a car bonnet, landing on the scope, knocked it, etc. etc. etc, and never moved out of zero..also testament to S&B!

Don't believe I have given them any stick. Just dn't like vertically split rings. have a couple of sets, not Warne's that came with something like the cheap Nikko Sterling's on the P-H 1200V were brought to try something out. My first experience with vertically split rings were with some Savage ones they used to supply with their rifles. Again I just found them fiddly to set up.
oh no, wasn't saying you were mate, but 'in general' warne's get more stick than they deserve, wasn't referring specifically to you of course. Just a lot of people I've spoken to, esp. in shops put them down, but I think it's because they're either unable to 'work them' or because they want to sell more expensive gear.
yes, they are very fiddly to get lined up, but when you've done it a few times you get used to it mind.

That is very true as is the fact that some of us expect better finish and quality obviously. In fact EB had to send me some replacement clamps as one snapped as it was being fitted. not even properly tightened up but cheap castings like those can be brittle. It happens so often EB who are not know for keeping back up stuff do keep these in stock
that has to say something.Oh yes the Millets are also well known in the US for crimping scope tubes. May I suggest you have a little look around the WWW

Old Brnos are pretty thin on the ground in the US due to the import embargi when they were part of the Soviet Bloc. There was a bit of a trade in getting the 602 down from canada to make custom big bore safari guns duringthe embargo. Plenty ofthe CZs of recent make there now. there are a lot in aust. You pick them up for about a couple hundred more than a PH or BSA. 650 - 850 for good to excellent. Often the additional trigger is still in the canvas pouch with them. the older models with the straight stock and peep in the reciever have a dedicated band of followers.
