Here is a close up on Butch Searcy's Talley Mount Base Rib.



Although I have little personal experiance with Talley mounts, my Gun Smith recommends them and I do have experiance with Blaser mounts which seem to work on the same system.

It’s unobtrusive and works great for me.

Of the quick detach set ups, this one has got to be one of the quickest. Half a turn of both levers and slide it to the rear to remove, reverse to put it on. Simple, quick and perfect return to zero.

I like that Alot!Next custom double will have that!(2 bore!)

Not "traditional" in looks but like Mike said, it is very fast to switch from scope to irons.

I like it.....wish I'd had mine set up like that now, dammit

not to be argumentative but it is not as fast as you think. those cute little levers have to be darn tight to hold the scope on.

i can remove and replace a claw mounted scope before you can release both leavers and get the scope off.

it is better described as a 'DETACHABLE" scope mount suystem rather than a QUICK DETACHABLE SYSTEM.

after several shootings and putting the scope on and off let us know how it well returns to zero, ok

I also don't think it is as fast as ether a claw mount or side swing mount but it is very practicle when you want to change or add another scope.
I have Tallys on bolt guns and a #1 and they work well. I would like to have a second scope on my .338 double that now wears a 6x42 Swarovski. I will have one instaled at some point but with the claw mounts on it it will cost quite a bit more than what ever a set of Tally rings cost not to mention shipping charges both ways to the gunmaker.

I will grant you that I do not have experience with every mounting system out there and was not making any relative statement beyond simply saying this system is fast and returns to zero. Are there faster systems, maybe, I do not know. That said not sure why you would need something faster than this system.

Akshooter: How did you fix the Talley mount on the #1 ? A new quarter rib?

www.talbot.us retreever has this system on a

bolt rifle, it's a sure thing to return to zero and is

really quite fast! I've no idea if it can be installed

on a DR and look good once installed.

The need for speed is irrelavant. Return to zero is the only important factor. And in the last 20 years I haven't had a problem with Talley Rings. Usually improper installation is the cause of problems. If you have a scenario that would require speed let me know.

Your wife comes home while you have the new scope she did not know about mounted on your rifle.

I guess I did leave myself open. I stand corrected.

Joe Smithson has a push button quick release that is on his website www.smithson-gunsmith.com and has it mounted on double rifles. Looks interesting

.338x74R
Yes custom 1/4 rib along with many other custom feachers.
If I were at home I would post a photo but it's very simeler to to the photo above.

ftondrus I've used this system for a couple of years on my Searcy double and it always returns to zero. It works great.

My Searcy has the same set up..I just havn't used them..I think you have to come out of the closet to use a scope on a double!! Its a gay thang!

Ray,

Not a gay thing ... just a blind thing!
