I hate the vertical split rings. I've used them, but don't like them for a couple reasons. I don't even use them on std rifles. Much prefer the aesthetics and simplicity of the DD's. If someone has a pic of the steel talleys that don't hang into the loading/ejection port, please post them. The way Talleys are made, they have a notch cut out for the ring. There is no lateral adjustment for the ring. It is what it is and where it goes. On the .435" rear base for the H&H, it extends out into the loading port. Post pics if you have something different, as I don't think any modification will remedy this. I'll also add that the Leupold quick release mounts are the same way.



Did you look at the Talley Signature Steel Bases, paired with their Screw Lock Detachable Rings?

I can't tell from their website whether the rear base would extend over the loading port or not...

But it looks like their standard (non-extended) front base might at least bet slightly better than having to machine the Warne front base. I might consider switching to these for my post-'64 standard action instead of the Warne system I have now. They have a gloss version of the rings, which would match my system, and it looks like they have the advantage of being detachable without having to completely disassemble the ring parts...
