aesthetics only

[chuck nelson]

These are not my rifles but belong to an acquaintance.

Which of the two scope mounts pictured do you prefer the looks of best?

#1

#2

 

[pharaoh2]

The Leupolds always had graceful styling.

 

[MTM]

Strickly looks only and not weight or any other reason #1.

 

[mikeman20]

#1 sticks out to me in a good way, but that could just be the angle of the picture

 

[RickF]

The Talleys are light, but not nearly as good looking as the D/D's.

 

[Gatehouse]

I guess the Leupolds squeak by for the looks, but I prefer the Talleys....

Looks like they're doing more than just "squeaking buy" in the looks department.

For looks only, No.1.

I like #2. It looks like a high quality piece of work.



#1 looks like a lesser piece of work (when viewing the outside) with nice rounded corners.

I like the look of DD but voted Talleys just to screw up the poll

 

[Kevan]

I've got several sets of both but prefer the Talleys.

#1... I'm a big fan of low profile.

I had mounts much like the Talley on a browning A-Bolt years ago, and they where about the only thing that I liked about the gun (In fact, they probably where Talleys). I currently have dual dovetails on my go to gun, and I like them as well. I find it odd that people think that the Tally setup is stronger that the dual dovetail system. There may be one less joint, but they're also aluminum, where the Leupolds are metal. I personally prefer the Leupolds unless it is an ultralight gun where absolutely every ounce counts.

I have Talleys on 3 of my rifles, I like the utilitarian look.

 

[Onagoth]

I have TLWs, but in terms of aesthetics only, I prefer #1

 

[USP]

#2 looks more solid

 

[blargon]

Talley's.

What colors/ratio in the swirly?

 

[todbartell]

I got the same %'s as #2 on my McMillan Classic on my 8mm RM, 50% Forest green 25% black 25% dark brown

####ty pic, brown kinda looks purple
