| I've used the Leupolds for years on a 375 without any trouble. 458s are hard on scopes and mounts though. |

| I'm a big believer in 8/40 screw holes for the bases on big kickers. I would call Talley and talk to Gary Turner. I would be surprised if he can not help you. You will need to accurately measure your screw holes spacing before you talk to him. I sheared the base bar off the bottom of a Leupold QRW ring and switched to Talley on a 458 Lott. |

| I neglected to mention that I also used the larger screws in mounting my scope. I hate those dinky little screws. In fact the main reason I like Rugers is the scope mounts. |

| Talley certainly makes them as I have 6 or 7 sets on rifles as we speak, both 30mm and 1 in. rings. The FN and Mark X use the same ones. I have had the Leupold, worked OK, but not even in the same league. I have broken some of the flimsy levers off the Leupold, so went to Talley and never looked back.
A shot not taken is always a miss

| Just order a set of Tally QR rings and bases for my Browning Safari grade 458WM which is a Mauser. I have them on 3 other rifles (375 Weatherby, 416 Remington, and a 375 H&H). Never a problem! |
