ring/ base combo scope mount?

[winchester1852]

i was wondering what type of experience people had with a ring/ base combo is their and advantage to this design. I would just go ahead and get a two piece but those would have to be ordered in for the ones i want. thanks

The majority of my hunting rifles wear the talley lightweights. They are light and they work quite well. Unless you have irons for back up, I see no reason not to go this route on a hunting rifle.

If you go with the Talley's, level one base and then check the other for level.
I've done the Talley dance on more than one set of their offerings.

I will second the advice above from kamlooky. Most rifle manufacturers have a hand polishing or buffing step before bluing, so no guarantee that the receiver surfaces are dead parallel, or to exactly same height differential. Often, this is a major issue on milsurp receivers used to make sporters. It can be a real eye opener to set a straight edge on one installed base and carefully slide the straightedge across to the other one. It is a good practice to verify by starting on second base and checking back to the first one. Shims and epoxy to build up or straighten tipped bases, or really fussy scraping and filing to the bottom of a base.
