mac Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I am considering a few options. Do I go with a EWG picatinny rail with Leupold PRW rings, Talley low rings & base set (ring and base made together as 1 piece for front and 1 for rear) or DNZ 1 piece scope tube ? if anyone has any experience good or bad any of these setups, please share. this is for a 30.06 thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moog5050 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I had a picatinny with EWG rings on my savage 220. I found it caused the scope to sit to high. Changed to the DNZ and have no complaints. All depends on how the pieces (scope included) fit together on your rifle. The picatinny is more versatile, but if you plan to simply mount and leave the scope, versatility makes no difference. The DNZ is a solid mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ants Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I have used Leupold rings and Weaver style bases for years, with zero problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culvercreek hunt club Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 what 06 are you mounting it on? I really prefer the Leupold dovetail base and rings. it is rock solid with fewer screws. (none connecting the rings to the base. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Tikka t3, I may have to buy a few options and see what fits/looks right and return the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 yah 2 light aluminum silver rings that would classify as OK. I'd rather look for something a little more heavy duty and just do a one-time setup and be done with it for shooting at the range and regular season hunts. I may end up putting the stock rings out for sale at some point here. they may be useful for someone's setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moog5050 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 If the Tikka fit the same mounts as the sako optiloks, they are a great ring/base combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 thats what i was hoping for but Beretta confirmed they were not the optilocks- otherwise I'd be good to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That set up is recommended for magnum rifles, but you can use it on anything. Super strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I use the DNZ game reaper one piece mounts on my 06 and love them. I like that it eliminates a junction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
