I have not become a Kool-Aid drinker, but I am willing to tasted test.


1) Tikka T3X in 223
2) Starline Brass + 69g TMk bullets

Anything else I need to test the Kool-Aid?

I have Tallley Rings. For now, it has a Leupold VX-Freedom. It will do until I decide what kind of scope I really want for it.
Start at the start.

It’s truly an easy journey.

One simply needs to open their mind and objectively consider what’s important.

Phrased differently… the magic is in the hit probability and the terminal effects. While the latter won’t change, both Talleys and the VX are stacking the deck against reliable hits. Wish you luck on the experiment, keep us posted.

Help me understand, are you suggesting that Talley mounts lead to unreliability?

In my experience, in my observation of one other shooter, and in the consensus developed on this thread, it appears that Talley direct mount aluminum rings have a higher than average rate of shifting and breakage.
