Word on the interwebs is that vertical split rings don't hold well and that if they do hold they damage scopes, leading to all kinds of issues with holding zero and tracking. Have any of you experienced those issues? Seems like they would be less of an issue with robust scopes like (for example) most SWFA models.

I would avoid them.

I use them exclusively on T/C Contenders, albeit using 3x rings, but I have never had an issue with them damaging scopes or not holding zero.

I have moved away from vertical split as the last two sets of 1" AlaskaArms Brno rings were difficult to remove from the scopes, the issue being that the bottom two screws were all but welded into the threads. With the second set also having the addition of anti seize which didn't help at all.
There were no issues with the scopes or rigidity.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

I'd like to know what the advantage is? They also seem as if they would be more likely to have a pinch point.

I have a pair if warne medium vertical rings. Can't really figure out what the advantages are?
Especially since I bounce back n forth to open sights so much. Pain in the a s s removing the scope and then putting the scope back on the rifle. I end up having to loosen 8 screws, just to get the rings to release from the bases.
I would trade these if anyone wants them.

In my case to use open sights if needed.

I actually have an easier time mounting them and like the way they look. Otherwise, I can't really think of an advantage.

Either way they are just a clamp - i've not experienced issues.
Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?

I don't like them. So, "nay"..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Most are heavy and require more effort to mount. I don’t see a benefit.

My only experience is with QD Talleys on my 375. They are a little more difficult to initially set up but work great even with a medium-hard kicker like an 8 1/2lb. 375 H&H. The main advantage being quick detach for using the irons and RTZ.

I have one set of vertical split Warne and they were a pain to setup. Lots of guys like them them but this will be my one and only set Put me in the nay camp.
When I die I hope I don't start voting democrat.

I've over a dozen sets in service,with nary an issue. Hint.
They tend to mount low,which can be a nice arrangement,on some stock designs. Hint................
