Thanks for the comments. I have learned a lot on here. Hopefully, the information posted helps others.
I put a Leupold Ultralight 3x9-33 scope on the Forbes [24b 270] and it weighs 6# 5 ounces. It has a thicker barrel but a lightweight stock, thus front heavy. It is a nice feeling rifle with the extra weight out front. I accidentally banged the scope against the deer blind a couple of weeks ago. It chipped paint and dented the front of the scope housing. I checked the zero with a 3-shot group. The POI was still on and it printed a 0.5" group. It's a nice rifle and the Talley lightweight mounts passed the test..... again.
