I had ordered some rings from over the pond ($230.00) but have since changed my mind. A friend here purchased a 30-06 and he bought a Leupold Quick Release One Piece Base to fit a Marlin(I believe). He cut the base in two and then milled a dovetailed slot in the bottom of each. The now two piece base slides onto the 11mm rib. I haven't seen this setup so I'll hopefully get a look this evening and give more details. However if it looks and more importantly works I may opt for that approach.
