I'd go with Talley LW. I haven't broken any yet. There are possibly stronger options but those are generally steel and I see no point in going with a high dollar rifle to cut weight, then using heavier steel when lighter aluminum parts that work well are available. Counter-productive. Then again, I don't put a 30 mm hubble-esque scope on my UL rifle either, rather, I use set-it-and-forget-it scopes that come in between 11 and 15 ounces on my Kimbers.

These days, I save steel mounts/rings and 1.5 to 2 pound scopes for 10 pound rifles.

Others' mileage may vary ...

Anyone who thinks there's two sides to everything hasn't met a M�bius strip.

Here be dragons ...
