I just ordered an x-bolt 308 medallion tonight and was wondering about the x-bolt integrated scope mount system by talley. I see they are aluminum alloy and not steel but I do like the look of them and wondered if they are strong enough. Anyone have any experience with them or should I be looking at something else. I've always used burris steel rings on my centrefires and like them too but thought the talleys were a little ###ier. This is my new deer hunting rig and will be paired with a zeiss HD5 2-10x42.
 
I would imagine 4 screws per base/ring will be plenty strong enough. Remove grease/oil on the screws, screw holes and rings/base and use a drop blue lock-tite on the screws. Torque to spec.
 
I went through the whole steel vs aluminum thing, spent alot of money on rings and bases in the past 2yrs trying different brands and configurations. I think the talleys should be fine for your rig, I feel like I over though the whole thing when I should have just kept it simple.
Ymmv.
 
My only comment on rings is: I really dislike vertically split rings! So much more difficult to get a scope levelled! Much prefer horizontally split rings!

I am using several sets of Talley, and they work just fine. Do not put any locktite on the ring screws, the screws into the receiver are fine, but not for the screws that hold the rings together.

Jay, I have always felt the same way; I avoided vertically-split rings at all costs. Then I recently tried the Talleys...not the "permanent" ones, but the removeable version, which can be had with either QD levers or simple screws. They are terrific, easily the simplest rings I have ever mounted in terms of getting and keeping your scope crosshairs level. Read the instructions for mounting (yeah, yeah, I know...:)), follow them completely, and you will be all smiles. Absolutely no torqueing of the crosshairs to the left or right as you do the final tightening of the clamping screws.

Of course, these aren't the Talley model that is being discussed in this thread, but still worth mentioning.
