I have the dnz rings on my tikka and they were only 50 bucks but the dnz freedom reapers are $100 plus every where. If you can find them for under $75 please send me a link

www.amazon.com  has some for about $ 71

Thanks, I found them on optics planet? Do you have any experience with that particular mount? Do you think it will work well for a vortex diamondback 4-12x40 on an ar? Enough eye relief and height. Newbie at the ar thing so I'm not sure. I'd prefer the dnz their half the weight of the rock rivers and don't need lapping, heard the rock rivers required a ton of lapping to get right.

I have several RRA mounts, all are the regular cantilever and seem to have plenty of eye relief for me.  Maybe someone taller and lankier would need the more cantilevered model.  Height for an AR is good.  Never felt a need to "lap" a RRA mount, and could see no scope tube damage when I've changed scopes.  Don't know where that one comes from.  One thing I will agree with--they aren't light.  But then, they are made out of real metal, and they are sturdy.  I've knocked my gun over, and the scope hit rocks, and the zero didn't change.  I fell down a hillside and had to brush the dirt off the scope, and next time at the range, the zero didn't move.  I've ordered airgun scopes from Optics Planet, and their delivery is FAST!

Yeah, I hate not seeing them in hand. I might go take a look at the dnz's at outdoor emporium. Wish a local store had the rock river. I almost ordered the rock rivers today but they said 7-10 before they even ship them. Wish joe bob would have them back in stock

If they have to order them from Rock River before they can ship them, you might be standing there with your hand on your butt longer than 7-10 days...  .  My buddy swears by the P.E.R.P. mounts, but I've always thought they were overpriced.  If you see them for around $60, buy them!  Never used the DNZ's but they look good, and you can always change later if you don't like them.  Right now, getting anything is iffy...

Brian,
I have the Rock River mount on mine.
You're welcome to take a look.
PM me if interested.

Ordered the rock rivers today from Rra, hopefully it ships in the next two weeks. Going to call them tomorrow. If not I might just cancel and order the dnz's

Rock River has been real slow at shipping stuff out, but a call to them might speed things up.  Don't be surprised if you have to cancel.  They make good stuff, though.

That's what I heard. I wish joe bobs had them in stock

[thinkingman]

just buy those Warnes in the classifieds.

I prefer the one piece rings, talked to rock river today and they said there in stock and should have them by next Friday

[Heredoggydoggy]

Excellent!  I've used both two-piece and one-piece scope rings, and I must admit to preferring the one-piece mounts better!  Except in the case of my newest Benjamin Marauder airgun, where they say to "only" use two-piece mounts.

[Bmcox86]

You were right about rock rivers shipping, it took them to there max estimate of 10 days to ship. but I will have them this week and can go sight in the gun Friday and kill coyotes saturday
