Talley makes an aftermarket add-on with the anti-cant top ring. Think its $35, but can find them cheaper.

Right, the advantage of the Hawkins rings is the built-in cant and the level, and what I believe is an uber-high build quality. After you add on to the base talley's with a rail and the after market level, the price is similar.

I bought a set for myself and my dad. We are both very happy. Bertram brass/SporstmansChallenge were great to deal with.

Talley messed up by letting the bases hang over the rail, which looks like crap. We milled out 200+ sets to make them sit nicer.

Are the all canted? You kinda lose spacing with both “feet” facing inward. Just a pet peeve, they look sharp though.

Hawkin's Precision makes the best scope rings. Not only do they have a built in cant and bubble level but the machining is excellent. Tally's are cheap and require lapping.

Never lapped a single Talley in my life..or needed to.

$50 for Sportmatch seems to be the Tikka ticket these days...

Shifts your scope up 25MOA giving you more room to dial up for long shots
