Trying to change to something else ( like talleys)is going to save you bugger all when the beginning of the problem on a light model 70 in 223 is the receiver which is too big and too heavy.

If you want a lighter 223, your best options would be to start with a Howa mini, a zastava or a CZ 527.

Are these the extra low Leupold rings you are referring to?

Would I need new bases for these rings?

Thanks
