Talley QDs are imo the best and strongest out there.

The audacity of this manufacturer to use such shoddy components..

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................ Ditto, but only six or so rifles with vertical split rings.

I read a review where someone hadn’t even taken them out of the package yet and gave them 5 stars. So I’m going with 5 stars.

For years, all I have used are Warne vertical rings. Usually low ones on a rail. I've swapped alot of scopes around, and have never had one with a mark on it.....or had one slip, under recoil.
QR verticals work well too.

In my case to use open sights if needed Fair enough, but I'm not sure what that has to do with the non QD rings I quoted.

For quite a few years now, I've used Warne (split vertical) rings almost exclusively. I've never had an issue with them and also have never had a mark on a scope tube from them, either. Used correctly, they are both rugged and reliable.
I often hear the comment of split verticals being difficult to deal with. I don't buy into that. I have both rheumatoid arthritis and neuropathy affecting my hands and still use Warne rings. They are no more difficult to install than anything else.

Why does it appear that the objective is hard on that base?

Yes for me, use both vertical and horizontal with no issues.
I do not use Talley's as they mount too high for me.
Have used a bunch of the Warne's. Both QR and fixed vertical. Paired with slotted Warne bases it is very easy to switch scopes between all my LA Model 70 Classics.
When I went to Africa I took an extra zeroed scope mounted in vertical rings just in case. In my testing, when swapping the scopes back and forth, the zero remained very close. Within two inches. Not as good as Talley's, but very serviceable and easy to deal with.

I use both, zero issue with Warne screw on or QD over the course of decades.

Hard no for most of them, at least the ones that work like a nutcracker and attach the scope tube and the base with the same screws. One only need to think of the physics involved to see the problem. The detachable types, however, with separate screws attached to the scope top and bottom, and the base, are good to go. No Nutcracker.

I will add my 2 cents. My boys and I have been using swfa scopes for about 10 years. Two 3x15s, and two 3x9s. Hard use, plenty of dialing. Great results. Three of the scopes are in Burris zee rings, one 3x9 in Warne vertical mounts. This scope is the last one we bought and has been mounted in these rings for about the last 5 years on a Tikka 243. This fall that scope started having poi change every 3 shots or so, and was not returning to zero after dialing. The rail, rings , ect, ect on the rifle/ set up that could have been a problem were checked. Nothing was found. We reshot the rifle 3 separate days getting the same results. Round count on the rifle/ scope was about 650 rounds. Only 2 possible choices that I can see. Either the scope outright failed, or the vertical rings caused it to fail. There is simply no way to tell. I sent the scope back to swfa, and they are sending a new one(at some point when they come in). I am done with the vertical rings, the new scope will be in zee rings as well. I already picked them up.

I have 5-6 sets of Warne Vertical rings in use. 3 sets are on Tikkas, the rest on assorted other rifles. Never a problem with any of them, and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy more in the future.

they just don't look mechanically correct in my mind. This may go back to a cheap set decades ago. I prefer what I call normal standard rings for everything including airguns.

yes I don't really mind them. when your first use and then they seem kind of harder to mountain secure and hold until you kind of figure out get the bottom screws somewhat firm tighten the top one's last or you can rotate optics in the position.
