Personally I think it comes down to what type of shooter are you .
If it is purely a hunting rig then Talley’s are the way to go .
If you like to punch paper at extended ranges then a rail does add some advantages ( 20moa rail helps when distances get long ) .
The weight difference and robustness is “ neither here nor there” in my opinion , both options do a great job ( note the rail rings combo does add more components and as such more things that can loosen/move or fail )
I have four Tikka’s , three of them wear Talley’s and one has a rail .
What ever you decide upon, just make sure you don’t “ cheap out “ on what you get .
Buy quality and you won’t have a problem.
