I hear you on the weaver or pic style bases. They weren't always my go to. They can give a tacticool look that doesn't fit with certain rigs. However, I do have the Warne gloss rings and bases on some blued/walnut levers and bolt guns, and they look like they fit in well. Additionally, their 2 piece bases don't intrude on any portion of the action opening like some STD and DD set ups do.
I'll add that before i switched away from scope rings with only 1 screw on each side, I had a set of the Leupold post and cam lock style QD bases and rings on a Muzzleloader, and they allowed the use of factory open sights when the scope was removed. But, ultimately, the Warne bases are much thinner and the mounting interface they allow is much more secure.
