Default Best mount for Abolt .243wssm w/ nikon monarch 42mm

you is the best scope mount for a Browning Abolt .243 WSSM with a Nikon Monarch 4-16x42mm. I have talley one piece mounts on my prohunter and really like the idea of minimizing and interface with the one piece design.

heres what I'm thinking. http://www.swfa.com/pc-2441-946-tall...copemount.aspx

what do you guys think?

Look into the DedNutz Game Reaper 1 pc mount. I love them, just ordered 2 from Midway. www.dednutz.com

I have heard very good things about Talley mounts but would think twice about using any mounts that are not steel.

You can't go wrong with any of the respected brands 1 piece steel mounts and rings. I personally don't see the need for quick detachable rings with the quality scope you have.

why steel over aluminum? Some say aluminum mounts take shock better than steel

Steel is WAYYYYYY stronger than aluminum!!!!!!! The only time I would choose aluminum is on a .22 or such. I have seen countless aluminum rings
break,loosen,or strip out over the years.

The Talley's are great. I have them on a Kimber 84M in 308. Zero issues. Quality aluminum rings are fine on low-moderate recoiling rifles. I also really like Warne mounts.

While I have heard good things about Talley I have no personal experience with their mounts. I prefer Leupold Double Dovetail or Warne maxima(fixed and QD)rings and bases. Both have been reliable and never caused me a minutes worth of trouble. Thesecompanyshave good customer service as well from my experience.When Ihave contacted them with questions they were always quick to respond withthe proper/correct answers.

I really like the idea of the talley one piece. Do you they'll hold up to a .300 WSM. I have them on my TC Prohunter putting 150 gr. of powder and they stay true. The prohunter feels like it hits just as hard as he .300wsm.
