Dednutz Mount

[PigBoy Crabshaw]

Does anyone here have a scope mounted in a Dednutz one piece mount? I like the look and was looking for opinions. I have a Remington 700 ADL 7mm Mag that needs a scope/mount system. I'm guessing that I would need the long action model and go with either the low or medium mount because of the factory installed iron sites. It's about 10 years old. I believe that the low or med  mount would not fit a 30mm tube if I remove the factory sights. Also would you step up to a 40mm - 42mm tube to match the cartridge's potential ?  I been a Leupold guy for years and I'm hearing good things about Nikon scope.
Any information or suggestions from anyone that has purchased one and mounted it on a 700 long action would be great!

Thanks -g

I like the idea of the deadnutz but I am a real fan of the Burris Signature rings. There are times when the receiver is not perfect and the inserts on the Burris come in handy.

Another one to consider that's similar to the Deadnutz is Talley's light weight one-piece, the set I mounted on my Tikka took very little lapping, I'm a Burris Signature ring lover, but the Talleys are an excellent ringmount.

Thanks H.T. and quick for the replies.  The Talley's could be an option for me to consider also. Any input on the scope for my 7mm. It would be used for deer 200-300 Yd max. -g

I don't need anything top of the line like swarski or zeiss. $300-$400 should take care of what I need,. I guess that big question I 'm going over would be the weight and length of the scope. I want to reach out for what the 7mm can do (provided I do the same on my end) 200-300 I'd guess. I live out west and long shots are likley. I'm looking for a low profile, light weight, not overly long, no frills (No bullet drop, target knob, wide angle) that can get the job done. I've been hearing rumblings on a few boards that the quality of Leupold and Nikon are dropping off in the new models.  Thanks again. -g

That's above the price level that I have experience with, so I'll let someone else help ya out there.

A 3x9 or 4x12 VXII Leupold is a great scope for the money.  Haven't seen any drop in quality and I've owned them since about 1970.

Thanks Charles. I own a few mounted older Leupold's VXII 3x9's. Never had an issue with either of them. Does anyone have an opinion on the Nikon scope line?

I have used a Nikon handgun scope on a Lone Eagle for years with positive results.
I just purchased a used Nikon Titanium scope and have it mounted on a 222. The Titanium scope I purchased at a bargain price. I have a hard time buying good scopes for $100 less than a Leupold, I feel Leupold scopes hold their value much better than the others.
