After having two sets of Talley LWs break on a .300 WSM and a .308, I'm done with them. On the other hand, all my experiences with Talley QDs have been stellar. After the LWs broke on my Adirondack I switched over to QDs and then installed a front sight so I can use the rifle scoped or with their peep. Now I use one scope with 150s at 2800 up in the alpine, and another scope and the peep for 200s at 2350 for my woods hunting. Easy peasy.
