Not true on the talleys! I had a pair of them on a Tikka 25/06 and they BROKE after 2 weeks. Talley did replace them and also sent me a pre paid box to ship the broken ones back to them. They wanted to inspect them.

I have a couple sets of DNZ's and no problems!


I have seen a lot of photos of cracked Talley bases here on the fire. I wonder if the material they are buying is properly treated prior to machining or they are getting bad batches of material from suppliers. Aluminum should not fatigue like it did in that photo in such a short time period. my biggest beef with Talleys is they pretty much all have to be lapped not so with the DNZ's
