Anyone using Light Weight Talleys with a VX5 3x15x44 on a long action rifle?

thanks

I think that scope may need an extended mount up front.

Yep and Talley does not make one in a 30mm. Appears it'll mount but pullback looks to be nada.

Thanks for the reply.

Dang you'd think with as popular as 30mm tubes have become they'd have piles of them for common rifles. I'm a fan of Talley mounts on my hunting rifles...they keep things simple

They do make them for 30mm tubes long action I have them on a couple rifles with Nightforce’s. These are on Stiller actions; not sure what different about the Leupold’s. What action are you trying them on?

Yes, they make them, but not extended. 1” only in extended. I have a Cooper 52. Came with Weaver style bases. Weaver makes a detacheable extended...may have to go that route.

Will speak with the Talley folks again tomorrow.

I have a cooper Jackson squirrel that only comes with the Talley bases. Coopers seem to be a bit limited in scope mounting options.
