APA's are very nice, thinking about trying a set out on my next build!

Any reason you did not use Burris XTR matching rings? Looks like the Low 1" would be .42 mounted and the 30mm would be .52 if my calculations are correct. No doubt the Seekins are svelte in their styling.
Again, very nice rifle you built, like to know what your thoughts are on the scope after some time behind it. Thanks.

I like that! Do they make the base for a M70? yes I'm getting ready to try out Burris Signature Weaver rings on two-piece Burris Picatinny bases on a SA M70. If I like the scope, I have low Seekins rings that I'll switch out in place of the Signature rings.
Some shooting knowledge: Don't stand in front of the muzzle. Some hunting knowledge: Too much noise ruins the hunt.

Another solid option for SA Winchesters is the IOR Valdada one-piece zero degree steel Picatinny rail. It has a cutout over the ejection port. It'd be nice if they made it for LA Winchesters, too.

I use the Burris XTB/XTR combo and it is my preferred setup. Mounts low to the bore, has demonstrated very good return to zero when switching between scopes and so far, has proven very reliable. Have also been very happy with ring alignment. Have not found lapping to be necessary, with my alignment rods virtually point to point. Very underrated setup in my estimate... John

If I like the scope, I have low Seekins rings that I'll switch out in place of the Signature rings. The problem with the Burris signature rings is the through bolts are prone to breaking. I have had to switch some out to beefier bolts. I like the Leupold QRW rings for being stout myself.

Dennis,
Interesting about the through-bolts. Where did you get the replacements?

The poster wants Robust, so that means a one piece mount.
I have the DNZ Deadnutz mounts on a Weatherby and a Rem. 700.
They fit very well and do not bother the scope with ring marks.
The scope will break off before these mounts are affected.

John Just ordered a couple sets of bases and rings.....Burris XTB/XTR at $70 shipped per set. Can't wait to check them out and see how good they are. Planning on using them on a 257 Wthby and a 280AI.

I just used machine bolts I bought at the local bolt supplier, Copperstate. You have to enlarge the holes.

Got some of these two piece Burris Picatinny bases and think they're a great option. Nice and low and the multiple slots perfect rings spacing. Thanks for the head's up!

Bumping this thread to see if anyone is using these bases on the Tikka T3.
I'm trying to calculate if the Burris 2-peiece bases + Seekins lows would be taller than Talley lows that have been milled by coldbore here on the Fire. I'd like a little more height for a 42mm scope.

Milled out Coldbore Talley lows vs Burris-Seekins 1in lows
Will the Burris-Seekins give me more room?

I used to recommend those Burris bases until I got a couple of sets that were not made to spec. They were too narrow, and some tapered front to back.

TPS makes some nice rings compatible with weaver bases. Pair those with Warne bases & they should be extremely stout.
