RE: Favorite Scope Rings
How would you compare the Talley rings to the Conetrol rings?

RE: Favorite Scope Rings
I’ve never used Talley rings so I can’t comment on them but the Conetrol rings are unique in that they don’t have any visible screws. I’m not sure how the Conetrol rings stand up for strength on heavy recoil rifles but have worked well for my 7mm-08 and have complemented the look of my Sako Rifle and have lowered my scope compared to the Optilock system. I personally don’t care for the design of the Talley rings. They may be strong rings and all, but I just don’t like that particular design...

RE: Favorite Scope Rings
Waywardhunter, the Talley and Conetrols are totally different concepts. You've got the links to the two sites, so you can obviously see that. I've got Conetrols on a Sako 75 7mm mag and Talleys on a pre '64 Model 70 .30-06. I've been totally pleased with both brands. I slightly prefer the Conetrols just because I think they look better. There's justa band of steel around the scope with no obvious screws except for one on each side of the base. The only drawback to the Conetrols is that they are more difficult to work with when mounting your scope in them. However, once you get it mounted, it's a rock solid setup. I think these hold a scope tighter than any ring I've ever used.The Talleys are a little easier to work with and they too are a very solid system. You wouldn't go wrong with either brand.

This is nonsense....the Burris Signature rings are the best rings money can buy. The teflon or whatever inserts grip like crazy and will not damage your $1500 scope. Other than my Sakos, this is the only ring I use period. Just about everyone in this county uses them and there aren't any complaints that I've heard of....simply sensational. Regards, Rick.

I don't see many custom gun makers using Conetrols. I do see them using Talley's .. guys like Kenny Jarrett, Dave Tooley. The Burris Rings will slip with the big kickers. The dual dovetails are good rings but for the money the one piece talleys are better and cheaper. See the field and stream magazine Feb 2006 issue pg 29
