The Warne QD's are big and tough, but the Talley QD's are sleeker and nicer looking. I'm going to go with them on the 9.3x62, as that gun came in a few ounces over my 8.5# target wt. after adding the VX-6.

For the 404J, I'm getting SS Talley bases with 8-40 screws. I may get another VX-6 1-6x24 for that gun, as well. Lots of money for scopes, but what fine scopes they are. I'll keep the Vari X III 1.5-5x20 as back up for the 404J and the VX-3 2.5-8x36 as back up for the 9.3x62.

I'm going without iron sights at this time.
