As long as you do your homework in advance and end up with the correct height for the optic firearm they're GREAT

On some platforms they can be limiting with redguards to Front to Rear scope placment so keep this in mind too
 
DNZ or Talley lightweights are the only 2 mounts I'll use anymore. Those will do you just fine.
 
The DNZs are a great mounting system. Strong, simple, and somewhat lightweight - what is not to like?

A friend and I both have a set of DNZs and they have been excellent.

Why would you want 1 piece mounts?



Ease of mounting?




I think some of them sometimes block getting to loaded shells, no?

I agree with jmr40, they are the only 2 that I will use if I have a choice. I like the Talley better though.
 
Aluminum and no way to move rings back and forth to vary eye relief? Eh, no thanks, I'll stick with a steel picatinny rail and steel tactical rings. Never had a ring loosen up, so see no advantage to a one-piece base/rings - only downsides.

I had a set of those rings on a Howa .223. I had never used that style before. I like em.

The first thing is that your scope is perfectly aligned in the rings. I had no ring marks when I pulled the scope from the rifle.

The other thing is they are very light.

I had no problem with eye relief or scope adjustment and the scope mounted nice and low.

I will use them again next time I get a chance.

On a target rifle I'd agree with you. On a hunting rifle the aluminum mounts are plenty strong enough, especially the DNZ's. The Talley's would weigh about 2.5 oz., the DNZ around 3 oz. A set of steel rings and bases weigh around 6-8 oz. A picatinny rail would be another 5-6 oz. You could easily add 1/2-3/4 lb to the rifle. Not something I want to do to my Kimber. I use the same setup as you on my FN Patrol rifle.

There is plenty of room to adjust a scope for proper eye relief. The Talley rings can be mounted in either direction giving you plenty of options. I thought I wouldn't like the DNZ's for this reason, but the rings are pretty close together allowing for lots of room to move your scope.
 
I have been considering the DNZ mounts for a Browning A Bolt long action. I like the one piece system for ease of alignment and strength. I ordered the Browning integrated scope mounting system for the rifle since it had very good reviews. I haven't received them yet, so I have time to change my mind. Does anyone have any experience with either? I know the DNZ mount is light, but does it look bulky on a rifle? The Browning mounts look like they might be Tally's or a copy of.
 
never heard of DNZ

i was an ardent proponent of seekins (still am) but i tried the talley rings for my 260AI rifle and I must say I am impressed. I transport my rifle by tossing it in the back floorboard of my truck and have driven in the past 12 months to matches and classes in NM, OH, MO, NC x2, GA x2, KY x2, and countless miles to local ranges in TN. easily >10k miles, and much of it offroad and through all the driving and matches, it's never lost zero. not even 1/10th mil.

That said, for quick detach, i prefer one-piece like the larue.

and Spuhr mounts might be the best money can buy. worth looking at if you have excess $
