Scope Mount Tough vs Weight

[marc357]

The Mountain Tactical bases have/ use the recoil lug. If they are sold out, Beretta USA sells them too.

I've read posts that the Talley lightweights ring mounts can crack.

I have used Talley LW on 3 rifles of my own and 2 for a friend and never had a problem with cracking.
From the posts I have read the cracking that you mentioned are from over torquing and not a defective product.
All manufacturers have a recommendation on torque values and if someone decides to tighten it to foot pounds instead of inch pounds you can't blame the product.
