[QUOTE="McMillan, post: 587603, member: 34843"] Of course not all the Talley bases are 8-40's and I am not sure whether they made specifically for us or not, but they have made bases specifically to fit our receivers, we like the quality and service so that was our reasoning. One issue we have to deal with has to do with ejecting a case. With the NightForce scopes with large tactical turrets, as with other scopes with large turrets shooters sometimes have trouble with the case hitting the bottom of the turret and falling back into the receiver. Because our bolts have "sako type" extractors we had to place the plunger ejector in a little different location than a Remington which throws the case a little higher. When a hunter is holding the rifle in his hands and cycles the bolt, they have a tendency to lean the rifle over to the left so they can see in the port. When they do this, the problem becomes even more prominent. A long range shooter/hunter shooting prone rarely has the problem because the case hits the turret and falls straight down. Even so we get complaints that the gun is not ejecting properly when in fact it is hitting the turret so fast that they don't realize it's happening. They just assume that it was a weak ejection. So this was a long winded way of saying, yes, regular hunter have different points of view than do long range hunters so we need to market to each type separately. [/QUOTE]
