Time will tell if they crack less than the Talley's, but they are much thicker through the area where the ring screws are located.

I would like to try a set on a couple of my Model 70's, but they are not available yet.

Be nice if they offered those in low's


If the heights on Midway are correct, what Leupold is calling a Medium, is about the same as a Talley Low.
