I have a mix of both and am leaning towards the DNZ for future mounts. The DNZ for a Tikka was 2.7oz vs 2.oz for the Talley.

Their 10, 20 and 30moa bases for the M700 are the best deal on the market, about $80. I really dont see a Nightforce rail and rings at $300 being any better and there will never be an alignment problem. Some have reported the need to lap but I started to lap the first two and they showed about 90%+ contact and I did not even bother to cut through the anodizing.


Hunt hard, kill clean, waste nothing and offer no apologies.
