Paul,

thank you for your answer.

i had issue with the warne QD on my 375 ruger.
im using llc for now.

most of the time you are right for the open sights.

but this fall we got a loose rear base (lost a bit and the other one was really loose). and yes i used blue loctite.

now im using steel bases with steel rings.

lesson learnt take a spare kit of bases and rings with you with some bits and an extra scope ... but you still need open sights ...

all the best.

Phil
