[QUOTE="big7fan, post: 2806257, member: 125032"] I've used the lightweight Talley's extensively. all 20 MOA. 6.5 rem mag, 7mm RM, and two 28 noslers. all are on lightweight rigs with carbon fiber stocks and barrels. Never had an issue. I mount my scopes myself and lapp the crap out of the rings. I did have one ring that was a little tight at widest part where the top and bottom parts meet. So it required a bit more work as there was more material that needed to be removed. Then I've had some (most) that were really pretty easy. In my experience they require a bit more lapping as compared to [B]quality[/B] rail and ring sets.... but for me the savings in weight makes it worth it. As for durability, one of the 28s fell off the back of a side by side as I was driving up an all [B]rock[/B] incline. initally landed on the muzzle and then landed flat on the side.... chipping the crap out of the parallax dial on a swaro X5i. I was sick.... as it was a relatively new build that I had just finished load development and had verified everything out to 950 yds. Went to the range the next day and NOTHING had changed. It looked like crap with the muzzle brake and the dial all buggered up. But it was still dead on....at 950 yds Speaks to the durability of the mounts and the Swaro X5. Been an X5 fan since and have used the talleys on other milder calibers. I probability have 10 guns with the lightweight Talley's... so I have a fair amount of experience with them. [/QUOTE]
