I I mounted a new Leopold on my new Ruger 358. When the low Warne were a bit high. But, digging around I found a set of low Weaver's and boom. Perfect fit. Anyone else still use these?

Yep, used the heck out of them when I had the cash to use anything out there.
Years ago, I put together a truck gun, nothing serious like for a $8000 Elk hunt or the like, but the rifle was worthy of that. The Weavers were the last of my problems with keeping a rifle in an old 4X4 for 12 years, & it continuing to do do its job.

I use them but, damn! if they aren't the most difficult to square the scope with.

I read Weaver is coming out with a version just for 6.5 CM shooters!

They most certainly suck when trying to keep the scope upright when mounting, I'll not deny.
But with a bit of understanding & patience, they might take 5 minutes longer than others.
5 minutes.

Used them on my .270 for 51 years and killed a truck or two full of deer and hogs with it. Yeah they're a bit of a hassle getting square but no worse than some others I've used. They're solid and don't move even with lots of recoil. About 35-40 years back some bench shooters used them because of that. They're dependable. Ugly maybe but solid as a rock.
