Don't doubt you did that .......but..........Apples and oranges.....No doubt your rifle is a lot heavier than mine and I don't think the 6.5 GAP with 140 grain bullets recoils quite as much as a 280AI shooting 175's, especially in a 5 pound Kimber Mountain Ascent. Your scope weighs 20 ounces. Mine weighs in at 30.5 according to the NF website. Big heavy scope, lightweight rifle and relatively heavy recoil is not a good combo when you throw in Talley rings. They just slap did not work in this combo. The guy I talked to at Night Force didn't discuss other models, but it did come across as a blanket statement the way he said it, "Night Force recommends mil-spec rings and bases for our scopes" Glad the Talley's work for you, glad you like them. Wish they worked for me, they came with the rifle....I had to spend more money. I like the one you have posted.


Yeah, I wouldn't put a 30-oz scope in Talleys.

I remembered the name of that Nightforce mount: the Direct Mount. I'd say my only dislike of it, is that with the 20 MOA slope and since its built to work with 50mm objectives on loooong scopes (tilted down towards the barrel due to the slope), the objective is tilted up and is a bit high. That neoprene shellholder on the butt of my rifle is enough extra comb to get my eye up adequately, so that's an easy fix. Other than that- which could be a non-issue anyway on many stocks- it's awesome. Clean, light, and has that utter simplicity and minimal interfacing surfaces, like Talleys. I know rails are proven, but man that's a lot of fasteners and surfaces. Lot to go wrong.

The CENTER will hold.
