They don't put Championship rings on smooth hands
I'm not jumping out of an airplane with the damn rifle. Some of you guys are apparently into overkill and blowing unnecessary money.

If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever.
Missing you my great friend.
good rings shouldn’t have to be lapped.
I haven’t seen a set of Talley rings that didn’t have to be lapped.
Their tacticals didn’t have to be lapped as much as their others.
Just to be clear, I'm a C+ kind of guy. $50 mounts holding a $200 scope on a $500 rifle that shoots $18 a box bullets gets them dead enough for me.
Shots fired!!!
They make good stuff and they are good folks but I would suggest double checking scope squareness when you get home. You can’t do this correctly by eyeballing and shoulder mounting the gun. You have to level everything up. That way when when you dial in windage you are not also dialing in elevation.......and visa versa. See my sticky on mounting a scope. The reticle HAS to be square with the bore.
If it ain\'t accurate at long distance, then the fact that it is flat shooting is meaningless.
I like their stuff when I'm doing a pure sporter build and want a lighter, less "tactical" look. That having been said, I haven't had THEM mount one before - I used their ring/base combos and, yes, I lapped them. Lapping didn't take more than 10 minutes. I've lapped NightForce rings before, too.
I also have taken to bedding scope bases to the receiver with JB Weld. It all helps at least mentally.
As CWPINST mentioned, make sure your stuff is square.

So, to follow up, I rolled into Talley this morning and they sold me the mounts I needed (not the ones I THOUGHT I needed) and got my scope mounted. Per CWP's suggestion, I bought a Wheeler scope level kit at Cabela's this past week and will check it out when I get home. So, if anybody's wondering and interested in the Talley mounts, hates ordering stuff without being able to check fit & finish, and finds themselves in the Santee area, Talley 's folks are some straight up no BS people to deal with. I'll check back in after a few trips to the range with some real world reviews. Thanks again for all the input.

Put a set on the Tikka Compact this evening with the ER5, set up nicely. Good for the 200 and under knock about I bought it for.
Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.
