Sometimes the truth hurts. Life's too short to hunt with a Fugly rifle.

That's why I'll never buy a Tikka.

Tikkas are gorgeous compared to savages.

DNZs best stuff are the hunter model ring sets that resemble Talleys. Their one-piece setups have skinny rings, that are too much like mini hose clamps, to me.....I’d rather see the pressure spread out more and have 4- screws on the corners, torqued correctly, than a couple on long screws. That’s just a personal thing. DNZs always seem to work as intended.

I like talleys and dnz. No where near me carry’s talleys. I have to order them. Not a big deal but lots of times I buy at B&B pawn in Gadsden and they carry DNZ. I like those guys and usually buy a set of DNZ when I buy a rifle there.

I've got a Tikka T3x with DNZ's. They look good on the rifle and the wood looks better than than three of my Browning's with a wood stock. There is no doubt in my mind that Y'all would say the same if you looked at them side by side. If I knew how to post pics I would pull them out of the safe, take a pic, and post them and I promise that you would say the Tikka looks the best out of them all.

Warne bases and Burris rings for me...

Depends on the rifle.

A Savage long action is hard to mount most scopes on due to the width of the bases, unless you use a pic rail and rings

Most of the time I use Leupold standard bases and rings. I'm about to scope a Vanguard and will be using lightweight Talleys

As has been mentioned, DNZ mounts are solid, but damn, they are ugly.

I used the talleys on my.walmart vanguard 3006 with an vx3i 3:5-10x40. Great setup.
