    Are Talley rings a reliable choice?

    Looks like I've been lucky with Talleys. I am not aware of an alternative for a Remington Model 7 that will allow mounting sufficiently low - any ideas? Although mine have not yet broken in ~5 years of use in the conditions it will see (i.e. mountain hunting etc)
