Has anyone tried the diana bullseye zr mount.
Its a interesting looking design and seems logical. I tend to wonder about wear and tear from the movent causing play after time.
Any info or thoughts on system be appresiated.

I have sold a few and never had any complaints, a guy I know has them on his Diana 54 and 56, i think you have to be patient setting them up,so everything is correctly lined but other than that they have a good rep. I am a fan of 2 piece rings/mounts personally as I want to position my scope where I want it, not be dictated by the one piece mount (just my view)

I've just passed the 362 on and now have the wulf scope floating.
Sig has the picatinny rail on it.
So gonna set the wulf up as night scope with torch. Hawk day scope.
Do they come with picatinny mounts?

Diana ZR will negatively affect accuracy to some degree but nothing else will economically protect a scope mounted on the Gamo G Magnums.

I have only seen dovetail mounts.

I do believe they eliminate recoil but I have had scopes fail regardless, they can clunk when walking and rifle is facing down. They can be modified and or the design improved upon. Copies are available for 1/4 price however I wanted an original so paid the extra.

I generally use SportsMatch Dampa mounts which come in dovetail and Picatinny 25mm and 30mm. They use very firm rubber bushes but seem to help scope longevity. However in my experience all scopes in my price range will eventually fail when above 15 ft/lbs.

The Dampa mounts have a lifetime warranty and I match them up with ZeroTech or Tasco scopes which also have lifetime warranties so I do not expect to pay for replacement scopes in the future.

I too used Sports Match Dampa Mounts on all of my springers. To date I haven’t had any damaged scopes. You can buy the equivalent WULF mount from the Opticsnz web page. Same mount just slightly cheaper.

Cheaper? Mounts I'm looking at from wulf are over $200. Sport match seemed to be cheaper.
Still the price of mounts is off the planet.
Makes me appresiate that I got a set of sport match weaver scopes mounts thrown in with sig when Swapped it.
Cheers for that didn't realise the things were worth so much.

hi, what WULF mounts are you looking for? Only fully adjustable elevation and windage mounts and weaver adjustable over $200 in my shop. 

Happy to do a deal
