I'm looking closely at the DNZ one piece mount and bottom half of rings. Just three pieces (not counting screws) They have the same general idea as Talley but in a one piece mount. I'll be mounting a 1-4x Leupold to my M-1895 chambered in 45/70. I've got few other Marlins with the old Weaver one piece base and the rings with the screws only on one side. I generally have nightmares for 3 to 4 nights after fighting to get the reticle straight when using those old style(original maybe?) Weaver rings. Any suggestions? I do have a set of Talley's on another Marlin but I don't get as much spacing as I can with other bases plus I hate toting a rifle with the Talleys because the sharp corners on them if your carrying with your hand cradling the receiver from the underside.
I've contacted Talley a couple times about rounding the corners off a little but never received any response. Maybe it would be too much trouble. I don't know.
Thanks for any suggestions!
