Sorry next time I'll double bag it

Talleys ring/bases have only two parts, we are not talking about attaching seperate bases and then a set of rings. They are every bit as effective as dovetail rings.

They should be teaching this in Sex Ed classes at high school as opposed to using public welfare funds to support an alternative life style !

Well job done and a big improvement, removed the screw on bases that the old rings used to clamp on to, which I consider to be a point of potential failure.
Replaced with 1 piece rings/bases.
This was the only option I could find to get my scope closer to the barrell and its done the job perfectly.

After:

Now you may have opened up another can of worms - a Sako in .270 WIN

All jokes aside - I think the Talley one piece option is sound - I've got them on my Browning X-Bolt - a U.S brand rifle made in Japan.

Only my opinion though so take it as a grain of salt !

Never had any trouble with Talley lightweight rings losing zero without the use of epoxy or blue Loctite and never would use either. Can't hurt I suppose but each to their own.

I think one of the biggest improvements those rings offer is how much lower they mount the scope .
It bugs the #&*¥ out of me when I see scopes mounted way up in the clouds .
I’ve only heard good things about those Talley mounts , so I suspect your onto a winner .
