It痴 time to mount my new VX5 on my mountain rifle my first choice would be and always has been Talley Rings but I知 looking to see if there is anything new out there that might be a lighter option.

I doubt you will find lighter or cheaper, but look at leupold backcountry mounts. Similar to Talley in that they are 1-piece, but much nicer lines.

Do you know if they have a ring that fits directly onto a Picitinni rail.

THanks

I'm not sure how much they weigh, but ATRS makes some stellar rings. I have 3 pair of the 30mm lows, extremely solid rings. Will see if I can get an accurate weight on them for you.
