Put low 30mm LWs on the 308 yesterday, and took her for a spin.

Only needed 2.0 moa windage and 11 moa elevation corrections from the Badger 20 moa base???? The Talleys must be built a bit generous in the ass end. Everything fits well and flush in the ring-to-scope, and ring-to-reciever mating.

Saved about 12 oz. from the Badger Steel base/rings.

Have 45.5 moa "up" available from a 100 yd zero with 155 Scenars at 2800 fps.
 
Re: 30mm Talley Lightweights

thats a great paint scheme, it really blends in real well with that background. I'd be worried about setting it down to take a piss and then be unable to find it again lol.
 
Re: 30mm Talley Lightweights

Looks great, but I still can't believe you covered up that kickass McSwirly.

Re: 30mm Talley Lightweights

It is a nice swirly pattern under there. It's only a little acetone and elbow grease away, if I ever want it back.

I'm liking the utilitarian look of the paint.
 
Re: 30mm Talley Lightweights

I'm liking the lighter overall weight of this thing. The floorplate is Badger alloy. Don't have a scale, but I'd guess it's around 9 lbs or so, maybe 10 with the bipod. Still shoots as good as always. Compared to the 15 lb 30-06, this is a treat to carry.
 
Re: 30mm Talley Lightweights

Looks good Shane, those mulies will never see it coming.

+1 on lighter is better, especially in your kind of country.

How many yards to the far ridge in your top picture?
 
Re: 30mm Talley Lightweights

Shane, you're just now finding the Talley LW's....better late than never my friend (grin) They're pretty damn nice arent' they?
 
Re: 30mm Talley Lightweights

I have to admit that all mine are 1"ers, no 30mm's in the stable. I would have to think that the LW goodness transfers over though.
 
Re: 30mm Talley Lightweights

MM, did you like the Burris Signature/Posalign you posted a while back?
 
Re: 30mm Talley Lightweights

The Burris DD posaligns are a great system. Strong, and give a lot of latitude in manipulating the amount of forward slope or lateral correction.

My only beef, and it's just a personal thing, is that the rings are closer together than I like. No functional issues, but every time I look at it I just say to myself they need to be spread out a little more. On a long action I wouldn't be bothered.

 
Re: 30mm Talley Lightweights

I just rattlecanned it with Krylon.

A basecoat of khaki, then shot diagonal stripes of olive drab and brown, through some dry bunchgrass to break it up randomly.
 
Re: 30mm Talley Lightweights

Looks good Shane!
I like my Talley lightweights on my sillywet rig. They are definately good kit!
 
Re: 30mm Talley Lightweights

only had to try 600 placements in 3 states to find that background.

Very nice
