Those pictures are a really big help, Talleys were recommended to me by a friend who's in law enforcement. I'm going to get a Fullfield II as well and try them both. Those are some beautiful rifles, I've definitely got the bug. I'd like to get my daughter hunting with a 70 in .257 Roberts...

I like using pics. Its a lot easier than trying to describe something. Glad i could help.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

FWIW, I believe the Warne base I suggested in an earlier post will get that front ring even more to the rear than the reversible Talley LW.

It may, but like you said in an earlier post, it may overhang the ejection port. The extended Talleys will be flush with the ejection port. I personally don't like my mounts or rings to overhang the ejection port at all.. It's aesthetically unpleasing and also could interfere with ejection and loading...

I'm getting a Fullfield II per your suggestion to do some comparisons. I'm in the hospital right now after a hip replacement so mounting will have to wait. I got the plex reticle on the e1, probably going to get the same on the Fullfield II

But I don't think it would interfere with ejection much at all. Even the old, fairly low, Weaver one-piece base usually didn't impeded ejection. Aesthetically unpleasing, I agree. A trade off to have the eye relief one needs. If it were me, I'd find a longer scope.

https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/103062.jpgI did a dry run of mounting the scope. These are the Talley Lightweights, medium. I tried the reversible lows and the bolt would not clear. I've got a couple of other things I'm working on and then I'll mount for keeps here in a couple if days. Sorry about just linking to the picture.
