OK now thanks to you guys my Whitworth Christmas present is on the way. So it will be time to put some glass on top.

After seeing Billy's 1.25-4.5 Titan at Jeffe's I liked the looks of it for the money. Since this rifle is not going to really be a "dangerous game" rifle but more of a big game rifle I was leaning towards the 1.5-6 Titan. Likewise the scope will be use 99% of the time but I would like a quick release of some kind. The scope is 30mm.

I have a set of Leupolds QDs I'm GOING to use on another rifle but I have no experience with them. I have a set of Talleys that are on my Dakota but I have never removed them except once to see how they worked.

So assuming I go with the 1.5-6 Titan and plan to leave the scope in place normally what ring and base system would you use?

I've got a set of Leupold QD's on my Whitworth .375 and it has been to Africa and back ,etc with no problems. I actually have two other sets on a FN .338-06 and a 7x57. POI of impact will vary maybe 1/4 in. at 100 yards left and right, virtually 0 up and down at least on mine.

I really like the Talley's on my Whitworth. You can get them with hex screws instead of removable levers. Easy to take off with a hex key, and they leave the irons in easy view. Bob

Hey Bob. While the stock on the one I just bought isn't close to yours I think ebony vs plastic would be nice. Could you PM me with the name and contact info on the guy that cleaned up your stock.

John Valicek is at Canyon Lake, and his # is 830-964-5813. Bob

Thanks Bob.
