I want to be able to use the open sights on my rifle as well as a scope, and to be able switch "in the field".
In a perfect world I would buy Talley bases + QD rings, or possibly an Apel swing-off bases and rings, but for now, for me, they would eat too much into my limited hunting and shooting fund.
The main options I see in front of me are either Leupold QD rings and bases, or Weaver type QD rings.
Has anybody on here used the Leupold ones? What about Weaver type QD rings?
Weaver GrandSlam bases and Weaver GrandSlam QD rings would give me an all steel QD setup for really very little money - it seems too good to be true. Am I missing something?
The pictures below show the rifle wearing humble but serviceable Weaver bases and quadlock rings. These seemingly held up to full power 375 H&H mag loads OK, but I've had to remove totally in order to use the open sights.
If anyone has any experience at all to share on this subject I'd be grateful to receive it!
Thanks,
Guy
