The Talley Lightweight rings are mounted on a Rem 700 7mm-08 with a Leupold VX2 3-9X40 and the DNZ's are mounted on a CA Ridgeline 300 PRC with a Vortex Razor HD AMG. Again, both have performed well. My most recent purchase and gun project is a Savage 110 High Country 6.5 PRC that will be mounted with the Vortex Strike Eagle 4-24x50.
Jim Borden, who built my 338 RUM, highly recomended against the VX6 with Talley rings for this exact reason. Talley does make extended rings to help solve this problem and even with the extended front ring which allows the scope additional travel towards your eye, it is still mounted probably 1/4 - 3/8 of an inch too far forward.
I have used and am currently using both. I have more experience with Talleys. I do not NEED a 20 MOA but if I use a rail I might as well. I have had my scope move in Talleys. I have also had the Talley bases come loose. Seekins rings have more surface area and the rail provides the ability to remove the scope to check bases without loosing zero.
Both of which are made by Talley. I needed the scope mounted lower than what that setup was allowing, even though I used low rings. I switched to the one piece Browning rings made by Talley and by eliminating the picatinny base, I was able to set the scope down lower using the one piece rings. Scope height wound up being perfect for my application.
On hunts, I always take at least one spare rifle, usually two actually. But I also take a spare scope already set up and zeroed for my main rifle, just in case. I would hate to be 7-10+ hours from home on a hunt and drop my rifle and screw up a scope without a backup. Only had an issue one time, but a spare rifle was a hunt saver.
The Talley lightweight one piece rings are my #1 choice for all my long range hunting rigs. They are rock solid, easy to mount, easy to lap, and look great. They are a steal at $35-$40.
Talley Manufacturing’s various scope anti cant devices offer a simplified solution for both hunters and long range sports shooters alike. The anti-cant indicator helps to ensure that your rifle is held near perfect vertically. When long range shooting is the goal, ensuring our rifle, scope and...
(Talley advises against lapping) In practice it is a bit tricky to maintain alignment, but totally worthwhile if your receiver is out of spec. It's easy to see if this is the case - torque the front base down, but just start the rear receiver screws. Mount the scope and torque the rings. Look at the interface between the rear mount and the ...
I have been waffling between scopes due in part to weight and considered going with a bit heavier (and less expensive) scope and replacing the mounts to help compensate. Two scope choices are between the Meopta Meopro 3-9x42 which lists at 16 oz but someone weighed out of the box at 14.7oz vs a Swaro z3 3-10x42 at 12.7.
My Remington 700 LSS .257 Weatherby Magnum has Talley Lightweight 30mm Rings -Medium for my Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 FFP EBR-1 MOA Reticle Scope. I can dial out to 900 yards with that set-up and that's about as far as the .257 Weatherby Magnum is capable of.
