Agreed. I don't like that design either. I like Warnes and Talley QDs that mount around the tube first, then mount to the rail.

Warne top, Talley bottom. Both QD, but the Talley is using the screw lock option instead of the lever.

As far verticals obstructing the turret, I don't see it. They aren't that tall. They aren't really any taller than the ocular bell or power ring.

I also prefer Warnes to Talleys if my rifle has open sights I might want to use. Their bases are lower.
