I am looking for scope rings for a Remington. Looking to try to save weight but not loose quality. looking to save a little weight and not add a rail. What options are out there other than Talley? Or are they about it?
I have tried rings from warn, leupold, weaver, BKL, Talley and probably some others I can't think of. The Talley lightweight are my favorite, and my go to if they are available.
Ill part with the masses...I have had the Talleys, and I like them OK. I have come be a fan of the Burris XTR two piece bases and Leupold PRW rings for most things, although I did recently pick up a set of the Vortex Pro Series rings which may replace the PRW as my favorite LW ring.
I've used a bunch of talley lw's over the years and have had a few pairs fail. For me, the next step up in "toughness" are leupold dual dovetails. They are lighter than a lot of options, but heavier than talley lw's, but also are stronger. You are talking a matter of ounces at this point. But if toughness is your highest priority then a properly mounted pic rail and rings are going to be the best bet. And you are still talking in a weight difference of ounces in the end.

I like EGW for rails and stuff. Give them a call they are nice people.
I like A.R.M.S mounts also and Burris rings, Xtreme rings.
Ask them for some tape to put in you bottom half, so your scope will not slip.
