I’ve been using them exclusively for over 15 years. Brownings, Winchesters, Remingtons, Stiller, Pierce and Nula’s not one issue with 22 oz to 10 oz scopes. Some tough Alaska and Rocky Mountain hunts and I shoot around 1200-1500 rounds a year so I’m surprised when these threads come up. Not disputing people’s experiences but have had several scopes fail but never a Talley lightweight. I take them out of the package and simply torque to spec. I don’t really have many other options with my NULAs, just not much else out there other than Talley steel.

Now that I said this I’m sure I’ll have issues. 😁
