not sure why so many people get emotionally wound up over talleys? Match it to a leupold and suggest that the glass doesn't track or hold zero or that the talley's broke while the rifle was laying on the seat of a pickup and they were properly torqued and you might as well be one of the guys holding jesus's arms while he was nailed to the cross...
Pretty simple to choose stuff that works so you aren't chasing your tail as long as you don't get emotionally invested in a product produced by a company that doesn't even know or care that you exist.
Leupold dual dovetails are pretty trim, don't look terrible, and are really unlikely to snap, even if you drop your rifle in a creek while fishing. Same as burris signature rings. Same as a dozen others already mentioned.
The. Problems start to happen when a person forgets that a rifle has only one job, and that isn't to look pretty, or to be as light as humanly possible. It's supposed to put a cold bore round where you put the cross hairs, each and every time. That's it. When you start making trade off's because you want to save an ounce, or because you don't like the way something looks, then you are bastardizing the one true purpose that the rifle has and you are taking chances that the rifle won't do what you need it to do, when you need it to do it.
0.00000000000000000058 seconds on google will show hundreds of people talking about broken talleys. Call talley and say that you had one snap and they don't even ask anything other than your address so they can send a replacement. You don't see that with any other ring or base out there. Why do people take it so personally? At this point, it is pretty hard to refute the fact that they can and do snap at inopportune times.
