    Never had an issue with many sets of Talley rings/bases over the years.

    Gunworks pic rail on my 308. Cost, can't put a $ value on happiness (I can't remember, think it was about $120)

    Vortex rings that came with the scope.

    If you use it wrong enough.

    So would it be acceptable to say Talleys are the way to go with rings and bases etc? I don't know much about that sort of thing.

    Yes to talleys. Got them on my mini, had them on a long action, will be putting them on my 308 when I get round to it.

    They are base and ring in one unit. Although separate front and rear.

    Talley
    Pic rails
    Weaver
    Lynx - bayonet
    Millet/Leupold

    Any two piece mount that will fit a Remington 700 works perfectly on a Howa 1500. Piccatiny rails dont fit however.

    I have used both Talleys and DNZ Gamereaper one piece. Both are great.
