I've been in the habit of putting Talley one piece ring/bases on all my rifles lately (I think they are 2.3 oz. for the pair). However, I will be scoping a Savage Lightweight Storm this week, and the rifle is already so light that I'm not concerned about a few more ounces in the scope mount. I have a set of Leupold 2-piece steel bases and medium rings (5.3 oz. total) for the rifle.
Is the extra 3 oz. of Leupold steel rings/bases going to gain me anything vs. the Talleys? I know some folks who believe the Leupold steel bases and rings are more durable because they are steel. If that's actually true, I'll use them. On this particular rifle, an extra 3 oz. might actually be welcome. At the very least, the 3 oz. doesn't concern me.
So which would you say are more durable over time, the Talleys, or the 2-piece steel Leupold set?
