I have Warnes on Weaver bases on a little savage rimfire. works fine in that case, but I wouldn't use that setup on a centerfire. the Warne steel bases are good quality, I always use those anyway.
re: Warne rings, I love 'em. They're heavy and they don't move once they're torqued down. I've got them on almost all my rifles. the recoil key setup seems to work to me, I've got a set of the QD's on a hard-kicking little muzzleloader. I have to take that thing apart for cleaning, including taking the scope off, after every time I shoot it. always kind of amazed that those rings bring it right back to zero, but they do it every time.
