Scope Mounts... Which ones?

[Matt Cashell]

They aren't the lightest, but I really like TPS rings and bases.

Recently I've used Badger Ordnance, Seekings and Burris tac series. All of them are over engineered and none of them were light. If I was looking for another I'd go with a Leupy DD as said by others.

S&K's or Leupold DD's for sure. The weight savings Talley lightweights give you are not worth it IMO. On my rifles I want 100% dependability from my components. I have had Talley lightweight rings fail and I know others that have had the same issue.

These rings were mounted and lapped by a very well known gunsmith on my 300SAUM Rem Ti, and no, they were not mounted improperly or over tightened.
As I mentioned, I know others that have had this same issue, so IMO it is not worth the tiny amount of weight savings. Issues like this "could" ruin a shot on a trophy animal. The crack is bigger than it appears in the picture.

These are my favorites now. Light, clean looking, no stress on the scope tube, strong and simple.

I am giving you my experiences and I wont get into this argument again as I have before and it goes nowhere. For some reason when you speak of Talley rings failing some folks get offended. I had good luck with Talley LW's rings(owned 10-12 sets) up until the above picture was taken and chose not to use them anymore after that. I still use Talley steel split rings on some of my rifles and love them for those applications.

Good luck and IMO choose wisely

How do you get those rings over the scope tube? They look like they're one piece.

S&K are nice. I did have a set slip tough. I am partial to nightforce ultra light for big mags that I take hunting.

The S&K are split at the bottom. You spread them apart then push back together. I have a pair on my 280AI and my 30/06AI. They are 1 pc
