I use the Talley's, but I have all short actions. Their my favorite rings.
What problem are you having?
As far as the long screws, I shorten mine with a file or a stone. It's usually the front one that is too long and hits the barrel threads.
I think it's always a good idea to use the extended ring/bases. Gives us more options.
Good Shootings...Jim :-)
