Shooter 1-"Yeah, had a scope ring snap on me, blah, blah, blah."
Shooter 2- " Hear that alot. They're junk. Stupid Tasco rings".
Shooter 1- "Actually it was a Talley".
Shooter 2- "Oh man, those are awesome rings!"
Go figure. In my book, gear that lets you down is junk, I don't care who makes it. Between pinch marks and broken rings, why would you use Talleys when it's easy to avoid them?
