Idared, I did have Redfield bases and rings with the Pilkington QD lever on my 458 for a dozen years and was hapy with it but since it has no adjustments it finally became worn enough that it needed to be replaced. I also realized that there was no reason to remove the scope any faster than i could with the standard Weaver cross slot type mounts. I also knew that we had mounted rifle scopes on M-2 Browning 50 cal's for sniping use when I was in Vietnam using the same system and a mount that will stand up to a 50BMG most certainly will hold up to a 458 so that is what I chose. I have never regreted it.
