Talley rings
#20294 - 01/11/04 03:15 AM

My rings from Talley finally arrived. They are the QD with levers made to fit my Brno 602 in 375 H&H, but I have found that there is about 1/16" (using my eye-ometer) play in the slot for the rear ring. Is this tolerence normal? Is it best to have the ring touching the front or rear of the slot? And finally, which possition should the levers finally rest in? I've noticed when it is in the 12 o'clock position that there could be a chance to knock it loose when opening the bolt. I think I remember Ray or somebody say to tape them up. Thanks in advance.

I can't answer your question about the play, but the levers can be indexed to lock up anywhere you want them. Just loosen the levers several turns, and push them in so that they turn freely around the screw, making sure the screw doesn't turn.

In reply to:

Adam,
I haven't used Talley mounts so am unsure if each ring and base has the slot or only one.

If only one base has the slot the ring should be hard against the front of the slot.

If both bases have slots like with Ruger scope rings, I like to set the front ring against the front of the slot and the rear ring against the rear of it's slot.

Scope rings are subject to forces in both directions, forward and back, from recoil therefore ring base combinations which have a recoil stop for both directions are best.
This is even more important when dealing with QD mount systems which are secured by finger tightened levers.
