Description
The Talley Model 70 Mount 30mm Low (Talley item 730702) is a one-piece lightweight alloy ring and base set for Winchester Model 70 rifles with the .860 inch standard caliber and short action screw spacing. It holds a 30mm scope at low height, has 0 MOA of cant, and is finished in black. Talley lists the set at about 2.5 ounces for a 30mm pair.
Talley Model 70 Mount 30mm Low Overview
Talley machines each ring and its base as a single part that screws directly into the Model 70 receiver. Removing the separate base and its ring clamps eliminates the joint where most scope mounts loosen or misalign. The result is a rigid, very light mount that installs quickly and looks clean on a classic bolt rifle. Talley states its mounts need no lapping and are ready to install out of the box.
Fit and Screw Size
This mount is for Model 70 rifles with the .860 inch front screw spacing used on standard calibers and short actions. Long action and magnum Model 70 rifles use different spacing and need a different Talley part. Talley also offers this mount for both 6-48 and 8-40 receiver screws, so confirm which screws your rifle uses before installing; newer production rifles and older rifles can differ.
Low Height Details
Per the Talley chart, the low 30mm set measures about .533 inch at the rear ring and .400 inch at the front, measured to the bottom of the scope tube. Low rings suit compact 30mm scopes with objectives around 40mm or smaller on a sporter barrel. If your scope has a larger objective, a medium or high set will be the better choice.
Installation Tips
Degrease the receiver holes and screws and use a small drop of medium thread locker on the base screws. Rest the scope in the bottom ring halves, set eye relief, and level the reticle.
Tighten the caps evenly in a crisscross pattern with a torque driver, staying within the scope maker limit. Check that the bolt and the eyepiece do not touch through the full bolt stroke.
Why Hunters Choose Talley
Talley has built scope mounts in America for more than 40 years and is a common choice for lightweight hunting rifles. On a Model 70 Featherweight or similar sporter, a one-piece alloy mount keeps weight down and removes extra parts that can work loose in rough country.
Honest Limitations
This set fits Model 70 rifles with .860 spacing only and 30mm tubes only. Low height limits objective size. The set has no built-in cant for extended long-range shooting, and alloy rings should never be over-torqued. Only one verified distributor photo is available for this exact part.
