I dont have DNZ mounts but my cva scout has a set of durasight dead on mounts that are the same style/ one piece base rings combo.


not bad, beats a cheap set of wally world rings  nothing  terribly objectionable about them but not all that and box of chocolates. my main objection to the style is most dont make a low mount that I prefer, your stuck with medium and high+ mounts  that and they do need lapping no matter what the maker says. since greybeard  pointed out the burris signature zee rings to me I havent looked at any thing else for rings and probably wont till someone improves on the design.

I have two of them, both on T/C Encores.  I like the ease of setting them up, and I'm confident in their performance.  Have one on my 22-250 barrel with a 30mm tube, and one on my 270 barrel with the 1" setup.  Definitely recommend them.

 That is great to hear. I was looking at the Z Rings with the inserts and for the same Price I can get the DNZ which looks like a better mount. I will will use the 30MM.  It is for the 50MM Objective so I think I have to go with the High Mount.

Yup, love 'em. FYI the Durasight version is NOTHING like the DNZ. Cheap cast Zamak will never replace quality machined from billet aluminum.

Oh and you DON'T have to lap DNZ rings. Call 'em and ask how they are made and you'll see why.

I've got a DNZ mount on my Rem 660 350 mag. I like it and it looks good IMO. I chose it becase the bridge is out of the way when loading the magazine.
 
I have Burris Signature Zee rings on my 7600 and I used the offset inserts. Worked out great.

I have the DNZ mounted on my Tikka T3 Hunter in 30.06.   Easy to mount and solid as a rock.  You won't be sorry.

I too have the Burris Zee rings with the inserts.  I like them because you can zero the scope to itself (take the reticle all the way to the end, then back the other way to the end and count the clicks then go back half way...both ways) and then sight the gun in with the rings.   Then if you're changing magnification you're moving the internals on the center axis of the scope...less chance of drifting the zero....and, you don't have to lap the rings.
worked for me.

The best price I could find on the DNZ is at Amazon $51.00. Anyone ever shop at Amazon? Thank You.

I needed to add this information. I could not purchase the item from Amazon as they do not have information as to if they fit a 1" Tube or a 30 MM tube. I also contacted them via messenger and they also could not confirm that information. So they are going to research it and update there web site when they have the correct information.

But I did place an order through Optics Planet for $61.70 with there 5% discount and free shipping. I did not think that was too bad. But as always I could be wronig lol.

I have them on a couple of Handi-Rifles and a Mdl. 70 Win.  They were easy to install and are rock solid.

AKPLS that is great to hear.

I should get mine in tomorrows mail. :)

I was told by DNZ that the Med rise should work fine for my 50 MM bell. But there was a small chance it would not lol. But I am going to try it. If it works FANTASTIC if not well I will have to return it for a High one.

Thank You all for the feed back.

  Just an update. I got the Med Rise this evening. And yes the scope fits. Took some sanding on the lens covers though. But it fits lol.

  I hope to shoot it this week to sight it in. But at this point I would have to say I really like the DNZ Scope mount. Very solid and the scope drops right in the saddle very nice.
