[QUOTE="Black67, post: 1218628, member: 41359"] Blacktail, I have a similar setup, mine is a factoy Model 70 Sharpshooter 7mm STW with a VX-6 3-18x 50mm on it. I had trouble finding a mount that would work too, as this is built on the magnum action with the rear mount being the .330 spacing. The Talley's would work, as I use them on my other M70 rifles (featherweights). Compared to other mounts, they are very light. They are strong, as they use a high quality aluminum(7075). These should stand up to what ever your 28 Nosler can put out. Another option is using the Extreme Hardcore Gear Picatinny Tru Level mount. This mount is made of 7075 Aluminum. This is what I went for on my 7mm STW. The level is hard to see, but I did not buy it for that. I also put on Burris Signature Rings, but a nice Al ring would work fine. i was thinking of some Nightforce Ultra Lites or something along those lines too. If possible, you can also change out your bottom metal to a aluminum PTG unit. This will save some weight too. If your bottom metal is currently a 2 bolt setup, it is a quick change. If its a 3 bolt system, you will need to do some work on the stock to inlet for the new bottom metal. I did this also on the STW. Hope this gives some ideas. If you have any questions, let me know.
