Had a buddy shear 2 leupold bases on a 300WBY in about 2 weeks time. They were the standard leupold bases with adjustable windage rear.I've got 20MOA Talley rings on my Ridgeline, holding about a 21 ounce Leupold scope, which is probably close to the same weight as that scope. No issues holding zero. I highly recommend Talley rings be lapped for perfect alignment, which also helps for holding zero.
If you want to go the "brick chithouse" route, Ken Farrell rings and bases are bulletproof.
Personally I never put Leupold standard rings on anything anymore after sheering one of the turn-in rings right at the base. It was a high-recoil rifle, mid-weight scope, but no impacts at all to the scope or rings. Maybe it was just a bad part, but it's not something I'm going to risk on a hunting rifle.
