I have always had good luck with DNZ mounts.
This one has me thinking the pic rail would be better. You can have issues with any of them. The power adjustment on my savage with a pic rail only clears the rail by a papers width or two. Lower the scope the better to me, its just something to be conscious of.

Made up 10 of the 88's to test last night. made it to the range this afternoon and started over. Had to re-zero because the scope was off to fix the contact issue. after getting a good zero I shot this 5 shot string. What is strange is the first shot was the one in the square. Then it grouped the 4. Only thing I can figure is still dealing with barrel break in, or it likes it hot and dirty..... ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2021/07/full-25199-302936-224tgt.jpg)
