I’ve always used leupold mounts and haven’t had any problems whatsoever out of them. However, I just bought and older savage 110 in 7mag with a flat rear reciever and can’t seem to find the leupold mounts for them so I may need to swap things up on this one
I quit culling when I realized I was a cull

I use a picatinny rail and Leupold Mark 4 rings.

Never had all the problems with mounts and rings that everyone else seems to have either.
I like Burris Signature rings myself but the bases can be universal dovetail for all I care... all the way up to picatinny rails. The most important thing is setting it up properly with the height and eye relief.
What I am saying is don't convince yourself you need Talley's just because that's what the cool kids put on their rifles and wind up with a scope that is not properly setup.
DNZ are fugly. Just don't go there.

install a picatinny rail properly bedded to the rifles receiver and you open up alot more doors for rings I use Vortex precision rings.

Thanks for the recommendations guys. I’m looking into all of them. I like the idea of the picatinny rail but dang they are high... didn’t think I’d have to put $100 into just mounts, but I may

A Browning or a Sako will out shoot either one of em so go for it!

Talley one piece for a hunting rifle. If you need 20 MOA, go rail and rings. Concur.

DNZ. Last time I checked, the deer weren't too concerned about how purty my rifle was.
Functionality and affordability > fashionability That's what I don't understand. DNZ mounts cost more than Talley, have less options for height and tube size, and look hideous.What's the advantage?

I didn't want to be the one to break it to him.
