I do appreciate your input. The Warne rings aren't bad looking to my eye. The Weaver bases wouldn't be my first choice. But, I'll consider it. My only experience with quick release mounts is the Leupolds. I do have them on a Ruger 10/22 RSI with the Mannlicher stock. The original sights were pretty low profile and blocked by the bases. I replaced them with sights from a 10/22 .22 WMR which are higher than the .22 LR ones.
