Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics How many of you have had Talley LW’s fail

I had 6 sets in service at one point. Had the top strap crack around one of the ring screws on a Weatherby ULW in 7mm Wby. Gun was never dropped or exposed to particularly heavy field use as I had rigs I liked better, and round count on it was relatively low at time of failure, likely less than 500. Scope was a Leupold 4.5-14. Screws were torqued to spec. Around the same time, a good friend had the same thing happen on a 300 WSM. I still have 2 sets on lighter recoilers with smaller scopes that don't see a ton of use, but I haven't used them on a new set up in a few years. They look nice, but there's much more robust options out there.
