Awesome idea. My T3 lite 270 win is wearing Talleys in ugly mode. I need to borrow my bros mill!

Gonna need a set or 2 for my T3's when I figure out what scopes to buy this spring ...
Can you do same thing on Talley's for a SAKO?
Ron Looked at some about a year ago, not sure about messing with that taper.

Yeah, kinda had to let the old man fully retire. All the tools are sold now as are most of my rifles. Still have the "magic folder" with all the specs though. If there's a tinkerer around that wanted to pick up the ball and run with it, I'd be happy to share it. He walked me through a set once and I was lost after about 5 minutes..... I think this was from the last batch. ![[Linked Image]](http://i756.photobucket.com/albums/xx210/16bore/Milled%20Talleys/mill_zpsccwlutbl.jpg) Did keep one set just in case I get Tikka'itus and the idea of a Creed ain't helping.

Well then, it'd be nice to actually know the difference between a modified medium or low and a stock low or extra low.

Modified are 0.10 lower if I recall correctly. Basically the height of the dovetail. "Mistem" sent in a bunch of extra lows to get super low. They were way the hell down there. Should be some pics floating around.

So they're all just .1" milled off the bottoms, 'ears' optional?

Should be some pics floating around. That looks about right. The modified Low's that I have on my Tikka put the bottom of the scope tube just about 0.400" above the top of the rail. The Tikka spec sheet lists the "Ex-Lows" as 0.400" height. I have Leupold VX2 3x9x40 scope on my Tikka T3. "Modified" Ex-Low's (-0.100") would require that I backup the scope 1/4" to clear the power adjustment ring. Bolt handle would still clear ocular bell. However, 40mmm objective may or may not contact the barrel. A straight 6x36mm would fit without any issue. A 2.5x8x36 would probably fit as well. However, I have not tried it.

Per Talley spec sheet for Tikka mounts, distance from top of receiver to bottom of scope tube, same for 1" and 30mm mounts: Ex-Low = 0.400" Low = 0.500" Med = 0.600" High = 0.700" Per posts above, the "Modification" removed approx 0.100" of material from the bottom of the mount allowing the "ears" to straddle the dove tail on top of the receiver. Shoot me an email address via PM, I will email the file to you.

That is, until Talley pulls their head out...
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA
