DNZ or Talley?

[GOTTA B REALTREE]

Going on savage 116 .270. It seems from what I have read, most people prefer talley over dnz. Do any of you have experience with these?

talley

I never used the DNZ but have a set of Talleys on my Rem 700 BDL 25-06,,using the 4.5-14 LR/T Leupold the front mount is too far forward to get my eye relief how I like it,on a short action or using a scope with shorter eye relief I am sure they would work really well,,

Ive never used Talleys but have used DNZs on several rifles. I am very happy with the DNZ.

I prefer DNZ but have used Talley's on a few guns I was trying to save weight on.

If you do go with the Talley's I suggest you lap them before mounting your scope. They'll get a little out of alignment if you aren't careful.

I have always used talleys. I traded for a gun with dnz on them. I like the dnz better.

 

[GOTTA B REALTREE]

From everybody I talk to... It's 50/50. I like the dnz mounts except the bar going over the action. With the one piece design, I don't think there would ever be a chance of them moving. However with the talley, there is a chance of them moving over time.

To help align the Talley's, push the mounts towards the muzzle and wiggle them back and forth while gradually tightening them. Torque them down good then lap.

Same thing applies to the DNZ's. Pushing the mount towards the muzzle takes out the slop between the screws and the base.

One piece Talley ring/mounts. I will buy these over any other thing on the market regardless of price.

I have gone through and put DNZ on everything I own. IMHO they are top notch. When the great outdoor store in Jackson went out of business I bought several because they had them 50 percent off. But I started using them before that.

Talley Lightweights for me. All the ones that I have used never needed to be lapped.

 

[Kimberman]

Talley fan here.

 

[B&C chaser]

I've never used Talley's but have the DNZ's on several rifles and really like em ! I just put a set of the DNZ 2 piece tactical mounts on a Weatherby sub-moa . I like the longer screws used to hold the rings together compared to other makes .

 

[GOTTA B REALTREE]

This is a hard decision

 

[Rackseeker]

I haven't used DNZ mounts, so I can't say. But I have used Talleys on several rifles. And never had a set that needed lapping. I use a 1" diameter bar to line them up. I will use Talleys in the future also.

 

[AllOutdoors]

Talleys for me.

 

[Rubberduck270]

And never had a set that needed lapping. I use a 1" diameter bar to line them up.

Not having to worry about alignment is where the DNZs shine. Both are good rings and work well all things considered.

 

[backstraps]

I have and still use both.... but I will say this:
I have a couple Talley for sale! DNZ gets my nod

 

[GOTTA B REALTREE]

Went with the dnz mount after a lot of thought.

 

[Rubberduck270]

Good choice. What scope you using?
