Rather than show some pics of shiny rifles on a gun bench, I'll throw this out there, scratched up, covered in blood droplets and a pic of me before busting my azz more than once with the rifle strapped to me and my 110 lb pack. I have had exactly zero issues with Talley Lightweights and every one of my rifles wears em.


Actually there were a few photo's of Talley Lightweights with cracks around the screw holes floating around the Net a couple of years back.

I don't recall the exact details, but I think it was attributed to a manufacturing defect.

Regardless,if you have faith in your Talley's and they have performed well for you, that's great!

Life I said, I *prefer* steel ring-mounts and I *prefer* actions which don't require a separate base held on by screws alone..
