Opinions on them very but I use them almost exclusively and have had zero issues. I lap all of mine and my scopes tend to be lightweight with my heaviest scope being 28 ounces so I probably am not stressing them like some people. Mine have been hunted hard in many mountains though. Just my experience so far

I Have 10-12 Sets Of The Lightweights {4 Oz}. And Never A Problem With Any. But Was Looking And Seen The Ultra Lights. First I'd Seen Of These.. Looks To Be a Trimmed Down Version Of The Lightweights..

Your Right.. I Just Weighed a Set..Talley Web Site Says 4 OZ. But On My Scales They Came In at 2.001 OZ. Even If The Ultra ,Where Lighter Don't Think I'd Give Up The Surface Area For The Weight Savings..

Use them on about half my rifles. Never had them moved, even when the gun was dropped pretty hard. I pack them in and use the [bleep] out of them. Hardest kicking calibers I've shot under them are 35 whelens and various 300 mags, but majority of the scopes are all at or under 18 oz, so that might make it easier. But they are well machined and don't mark the scopes. Haven't busted out my lapping bar in a long time. They are my go-to.

Sorry for my confusion. I have only used the lightweights not the ultralight version. Didn’t know they even existed

looks like the same ring to me on for a custom action with a slabbed side like the borden action, also those may be for a 30 mm ring and makes everything look smaller....just my 2 cents worth

I’ve used the LW Talleys on a number of a Rem 700s, all pretty light kickers. Zero problems.

I weighed a set for a Rem 700, and they weigh 2.2 oz. on my scale with the mounting screws.

That's awesome. Have you used the Ultralights?
