PC I would avoid the Warnes as I tried fitting a new set to my Ruger 77 on the weekend. The tongue on the front ring would not fit into the slot in the receiver. then when removing the rings the torw head screw on the base stripped. I was only using an Allen key tool which came with the mounts. So I was not exerting a lot of force. Very diappointing. Mark

I have had only great experiences with Warne rings and bases, especially with the Premier line. Brownells has the best selection but I am not sure about the shipping issue.
If you click on the "scope parts" under the "more info" portion it brings up a screen that talks about export issues and such. I would contact Warne or Brownells directly and see if there are any issues at all involved with shipping to you.

Funny, my experience with their Maxima QD rings for both the CZ dovetailed base and the Weaver/US MIL-STD-1913 base has been completely opposite of yours.
