I was out playing with a 6.5-284 hunting setup at 1200-1351 last month. I was shooting 147eldm at 2940fps. I really like the tally ring/base combo for weight and just to minimize things. At 1200, my hst 6-24 was almost maxed out at 9.1 mils (I zero at 300). At 1350, I was having to hold over 2 full mils! All this to say, the talley RB combo is great, but if you plan on shooting further, you might want a different setup.

I love the talley's for simplicity and weight but you are right they aren't as practical for real long range shooting. I use them on shorter range woods rifles and they are my favorites but they would not be my choice for distances you are shooting. Dave

They make them with 20 MOA. Should solve your problem.

I ran them on a 340 wby for several years with no issues at all. But as mentioned, depending on the cartridge you will probably want something else for real long range if you plan on dialing.
I would venture that close to 75% of rifles on here run REM 700 or REM 700 clones. Talley has this mount in 20MOA mounts. Should cover most needs if you don't want a Picatinny rail to hinder your top loading rifle.

I have them on my 6.5 lbs scoped & slung <300 yards Howa Mini and really like them. I chose them for their minimal weight, which I reduced further with a little underside pocketing.

I use the Hawkins i got from Red Hawk rifles 25-moa and anticant built into the top rear ring. Perfect, I figure one less joint to worry about.

No, I've had more of them come loose than anything, mostly scopes moving in the rings but I've had to pin and epoxy some of the bases to get them to stay.

Not even remotely comparable, the Hawkins are excellent quality and made to hold optics in regular use.
