I recently purchased a SWFA 6x42 for a relatively lightweight M700. Had a Leupy in Talley lightweights before, but I just don't trust the scope anymore(it's already been back once to Leupold). I like the Talley lightweights, and I know they make them for 30mm, but will they be fine for the heavier scope, or should I go with a rail or something else? Thanks!

In my experience the 30mm Talley LWs fine with heavier scopes.

Just what I was hoping to hear, thanks John!

Ditto, have two SWFA 10x42's mounted on Tikka T3x Lites with Talley rings and no problem at all. Tried a rail but it puts the scope up too high for a normal sporter rifle stock.

I have a Colt Light in 7mag, Buckmaster 4.5-14, Talleys. Kicks like hell. No issues.

Ordered some Talleys last night, thanks everyone for the advice!
