Vertical split rings

[SDHNTR]

If you want steel Talleys, get the screw lock detachable ones. There are separate base attachment and bottom ring half screws.

All else being equal, I would rather have the steel Tally units (lets not get started on the Talley LW); however, I've used 20+ sets of Warnes without a single issue, and some had/have a ton of use and shooting on them, so I wouldn't fret the Warnes. And the Warnes fit a number of mounts vs Tally using a proprietary design.

Ya the Warnes on my A-bolt have held the same zero for 14 years and have flown on a plane 4 times. Not gonna sweat the ones I already installed.

You have me talked into the Talleys for future mounts. Warne lists “Sintered Steel” which is powdered metal. There are some claims for vibration dampening benefits etc. but I don’t know how much of that is snake oil. I would rather have machined parts.

Everyone I know really likes them.

If ordering from anyone other than Talley I noticed descriptions are not always clear if the ring fits the smaller dovetail base or a pic rail. At that time it seemed the pic rail rings were much less common.

The last ones I picked up last year came with both socket head cap screws and the adjustable winged screws for the base clamp.
