Maybe I am weird but I like gloss scopes with gloss bases and rings on a polished blued rifle. I ended up ordering a gloss FX-2 6x36 scope from the Leupold Custom Shop to get what I wanted. I had also ordered some gloss Leupold QD rings and 2 piece bases but when they arrived I didn't like the way the rear base protrude over the ejection port so I returned them to SWFA. I ended up going with the Talley bases and their QD rings with levers. Hopefully I will now have my perfect all-around rifle for North America and Africa (short of Elephant and Buffalo). I don't really see using the QD feature often but at lest if I am going to some far off place I can have a backup scope ready to go all sighted in and in another set of rings. As an aside the guy I ordered from at Leupold said that they are getting more and more calls requesting gloss scopes.
