[QUOTE="nwmnbowhunter, post: 2212902, member: 103431"] My buddy hunts in Africa at night with a 5 pound 375 h&h ackley. 56mm schmidt and bender. His smith puts talley lightweight on it. The base broke, not the screw but the base broke. He had too little space between scope and barrel. Scope was hitting barrel during recoil and transferred that energy to the scope base. Scope is still good and after giving it more space [could see space, could barely get a piece of paper through] and talley rings have held up since. Talley lightweight and hawkins hybrids have all been good to me. Clean rings and scope tube with alcohol. Loc tite all screws. 375, Rum, prc, nothing has moved with larger scopes. [/QUOTE]
