Yes..thats it exactly. I need to buy TWO front bases ( which means the rear bases will go into the drawer..???) and go from there. I can get Weaver 2 piece bases ( need 2 sets of course) for $3.95 per set!! Then use the proper height Leopold rings ( Im thinking QD rings..???)

Let me get this straight... your build is based off a Stiller action and throwing on a $4 base for your optics?

Your right...what am I thinking?? I should put a rail on it for $70 that will do NOTHING MORE...
Of course I could put 2 Leopold front mounts on it at $6.95 each???? DUHHH

Have you looked at the talley light weight one piece mounts?
Yepper and other than HIGH cost..they dont cure my situation of needing 2 front mounts.
If "Weaver" style rings and mounts are so junky..as has been alluded to here...why has Weaver sold more mounts and rings in the years they have been in business than so many other companys. Im not swayed in the slightest by the latest and greatest. I want stuff that will work.

Maybe the Weaver mounts work for some, all know is that I bought some of the for my Stevens and I didn't like them. They come with cheap slot screws and the fit to the action was poor, they would have needed bedded to the action to be used. I think Weaver has sold so many because most hunters buy cheap optics and mounts, most everyone I know think $100 for optics and mounts is crazy and then they don't understand why the scope won't hold a zero.
Its not my build and money being spent, so its none of my buisness what parts are being used. Its just hard for me to understand using a custom action/barrel then using the cheapest mounts that can be bought. Good luck with your build.

I dont have a Savage that they call out in their catalog ( Talley) but it APPEARS the way they are listed the Savage AND the stiller BOTH have round top actions ( The website is pretty poor in the description dept...) If thats true..?? Then Im home free because I could buy a set of "X" brand mounts for a Savage and they would bolt right on!!....

I just got off the phone with Talley. YES a mount that will fit a Savage ( the models they specify) WILL fit a Stiller action and they have their "lightweight" setup which is the mount and rings combined sort of deal that fit the Stiller.
Looks like Talley is the way to roll!!!

Sully, your in luck. After a week vacation I'm back!
Yes Talley mounts for a savage (round back) will work.
Or the two front base lupy's as mentioned.
Or for $35 more from Stiller you can get a 0 MOA (flat) base. Then through $65 more on it & get a most excellent set of TPS picatinny rings (I also have seekins, badger, MKIV, & for the price I like TPS best). You'll be grades ahead.
When I got my first stiller I was not interested in the picatinny rail either but thought what the heck (price was going to be similar regardless). Went picatinny rings & base verses the tried & true 2 peice Leupold rings/base I had always used. Well, now years later, about all my serious stuff has picatiny ring/basse. Best out there, you can't beat it off with a hammer!
Give them a try. It will only cost a few more $$$ than a different aproach. It will not disappoint!
If you still don't want to give it a try, I've got MANY sets of used Lupy rings & bases. I've even got a set of lupy style (actually burris brand) rings & bases for M12 savage (also stiller pred) you can have cheap!
