The Talley PLO252150 Picatinny Rail transforms the Howa 1500 Long Action into a versatile platform for precision optics mounting. This direct-mount rail system eliminates the need for separate rings and bases, providing a solid foundation for scopes and tactical accessories. Built from aircraft-grade aluminum with a durable black anodized finish, this rail maintains zero under heavy recoil and extreme conditions.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional two-piece scope mounts, the Talley PLO252150 creates a continuous Picatinny rail platform across the entire receiver. This one-piece design eliminates potential flex points between separate bases, ensuring consistent scope alignment shot after shot. The 0 MOA cant provides a neutral mounting surface, allowing shooters to utilize their scope's full elevation adjustment range for long-distance applications.
Key Features
- Direct bolt-on installation to Howa 1500 Long Action receivers
- Aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum construction with Type III hard anodizing
- Full-length Picatinny rail with standard MIL-STD-1913 spacing
- 0 MOA cant for maximum scope elevation adjustment
- Low-profile design maintains proper scope height
- Corrosion-resistant black anodized finish
- Precision-machined mounting surfaces for repeatable zero
Field testing demonstrates the rail's ability to maintain zero through hundreds of rounds across various calibers. The rigid aluminum construction absorbs recoil energy without transferring stress to mounted optics, making it suitable for magnum cartridges and high-volume shooting sessions. Weather sealing between the rail and receiver prevents moisture infiltration that could affect accuracy over time.
