I use ring-mounts (love them) on my Sakos and Rugers, but the 85s have inconsistent dovetail taper - this base works perfectly. This base set is very high and may prevent low clearance mounting and/or setting the scope as far back as you would prefer (bell will hit edge of front base).

I never expected these quick release rings and bases to work as well as they do. I still use soap and water to clean my muzzleloader and the scope always gets in the way. Consequently, I bought these QR mounts two years ago so that I could remove the scope easily before cleaning and replace it just as easily. I never expected them to return to zero exactly but I figured that they would probably be good enough for a short range rifle. They have certainly exceeded my expectations. The scope returns to dead center every time.

I installed these on a new 308 and was a bit worried that they might not work as advertised. I am happy to say that not only is the zero nearly perfectly preserved and they stay tight through many shots, but it makes maintenance easier. I can use the Express sights if I want to when the scope is removed. I just ordered another two piece set for a 300RUM - let's see how it works with the big boys toys! I'll post another review when that's tested.

I used this Leupold quick release base (64015) and ring set-up for mounting a Leupold scope on my Remington model 7400 rifle. The base is low enough, (.250 inches high from the top of the rifles receiver to the top of the base) that I am able to use the iron sights with the rings out and the base installed. I did find it a little difficult to loosen the lever mechanism with my fingers when it was tight. I think that there should be a non-mar slotted plastic wrench provided with the base. It sure would save on the fingers. I haven't been to the range yet to sight in the rifle, but if it repeats to within a half an inch at 100 yards, that is more than enough for a hunting rifle in my opinion.

The combination of the Leupold base and scope mounts were mounted on my Thompson Pro-Hunter Black Powder Rifle. They held for perfect accuracy any time the scope has been removed and set back on the rifle. Optics Planet has the best pricing I found for this item.
