By William from USA on 2010-04-18 22:45:47 Things I liked:Nice sturdy mount for Diana Air Rifles. Barrel angle adjustment is excellent. Put the mount on my RWS model 36 and the fit was perfect. Mount stays put and doesn't move. The mount does make up for the barrel angle on my model 36Things I would have changed:I wish they could make the mount a little shorter and not quite so tall. What others should know:I ordered the mount with a set of accushot low profile weaver rings. They were advertised as low but when they showed up they were Medium. If you have a 44mm obj scope or less you need low rings because the base is to high. I have a RWS 450 40mm objective scope and when mounted on the base and rings the center of the objective is almost two inches high. When sighting in at 16 or 20 yards this makes for a real step trajectory over the line of sight. You need the lowest mounts possible that your scope can handle and still have clearance over the power plant housing to get the line of sight and pellet trajectory with in reason. For some people this makes no difference, but to me personally, I have been hunting for 34 yrs with Rifle and air gun and to me having a flatter trajectory leaves less guess work in the field. |  |

By Robert from USA on 2008-10-16 11:52:11 Things I liked:Well, I would've liked it if it worked.Things I would have changed:This base is so high that with the first rings I tried it with I could hardly get a sight picture without sticking my neck out What others should know:This base overcompensated for the droop in my 34 and I ended up having to shim the front rings which is the opposite to what you do with other bases that don't compensate for the droop. I bought it so I wouldn't have to shim, so this aspect was disappointing. I also had a severe windage problem that I couldn't figure out. In fairness to this base, it could have been the rings I used but I ran out of windage adjustment and couldn't get it zeroed. I kept running out of left windage adjustment. I finally gave up and used the Leapers Accushot one piece base and rings with the stop pin of the base hung over the front of the dovetail and a hard plastic shim under the scope at the rear ring. This works fine, and the only reason I was switching to the new "anti-droop" base is I thought it was a more elegant solution. It's not. At least it wasn't for me. The base makes the scope sit so high it looks and feels awkward. Use the Accushot one piece base and rings, hang the pin over the front of the dovetail, and, if you need to, shim the rear ring. It makes a solid mount that looks right and works great. |

- Things I liked:Works and fits perfectly! I had a real drooper that was way out of scope adjustment range. This mount brought the point of impact up about 7 inches at 10 yards on the indoor range, so the 20.7 inch advertised droop correction at 30 yards seems to be right on.
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:Also works on RWS Diana 34's with the T01 trigger and factory rail. - Things I liked:Perfect solution for barrel droop
Things I would have changed:price
What others should know:perfect fit and solution for my RWS 36. I also was able to purchase a 2nd base and mount it on a GAMO that had barrel droop. Cut off the front lip that catches the dove tail and you can mount it. It was a quick fix that worked for me. UTG has a better solution for other guns now with 4 mounting screws and no front lip made for newer RWS and other brands. - Things I liked:does what it says it does. stops droop.
Things I would have changed:the droop should be somehow adjustable. Mine somewhat overcorrected for droop.
What others should know:priced right! - Things I liked:Just what I needed works great. No mote scope movement on my RWS 48.
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:If you have a 48 you need this. - Things I liked:Gives a solid professional looking job.
Things I would have changed:make it a bit longer so a scope could be mounted closer to the shooter's eye.
What others should know:This gives way too much compensation for my RWS 350. Looking forward to the new one coming out presently - Things I liked:It leaves a very finished look and a rock solid base for scopes.
Things I would have changed:Maybe a bit longer?
What others should know:On my RWS 350 this raised my point of aim roughly 8 inches at 25 feet, 2 full inches over the bull. That is too much since it would require 80 clicks to return the scope to "0" using up the majority of adjustment needed for future longer ranges. Experts have told me scopes adjusted to the end of travel are far less able to with stand springer shock. I will now try the DN 460 with the lesser droop. compensation. - Things I liked:Does exactly what it's supposed to do. This is a very good quality base made specifically for the RWS so it fits perfectly, prevents movement, and compensates for the 18" droop in my RWS.
Things I would have changed:Regardless of the brand, adding a base like this makes the scope sit that much higher. I wish they could make one that was not as tall. - Things I liked: Your shipping was great!!!
Things I would have changed: The first thing I would do is get rid of the video of the mount in question!!! It clearly shows that it covers the screw at the back of the mount!! In fact it clearly states THAT saying a milled slot to cover said screw!!! It says its a leapers and it is NOT!! Its a UTG> YEA I herd it before same company!!! It is surely not what you advertised!
What others should know: I was very disappointed with it being shorter than advertised. The facts are its about an inch and a half short!! Maybe RWS increased the size of the original mount making yours to SHORT??? Either was it was not was ADVERTISED!!!! I have an RWS 34 - Things I liked:Everything.RWS air rifles has a big problem with barrel droop but this scope mount is amazing.No more barrel droop.This base is strong,well designed and precisely machined.No movement.Highly recommended.
Things I would have changed:Nothing.
What others should know:Use it confidently.Any scope mount couldn't resolved the barrel droop on my RWS 350 Magnum but this mount did.Thanks Pyramid Air!. - Things I liked:It looks stronger than the RWS 45 that I`m going to use it on. If it keeps a scope from shifting I`ll be happy. I`ve owned this gun a long time shoots very hard but I`ve never been able to keep a scope on it
Things I would have changed:I don`t see anything that needs changed. Time will tell
What others should know:Looks like it will raise the scope quite a bit. - Things I liked:everything
Things I would have changed:nothing
What others should know:perfect for rws 34p w/ UTG medium rings. their high enough for 50mm scope.CommentsBy Tony from USA on 2011-01-01 1 
Rock Solid!!! - Things I liked:El modelo es perfecto en sí, se ajusta al rifle que adquiri que es el Diana 350 Magnum y el valor precio es perfecto, este articulo lo recomiendo.
- Things I liked:This base seems well built. It was easy to mount. I have shot 2-3 hundred round using the base and works well. I'm getting 3 shot groups at 25 yards that I can cover with a dime.
Things I would have changed:nothing
What others should know:I have a RWS 34 and shooting Crosman supreme pellets, 10.5 grains. The gun really seems to like this pellet. - Things I liked:Fixed the barrel droop problem on my 10 year old Diana 34. Excellent design. Absolutely solid after several hundred shots. I hadn't even heard of barrel droop until I replaced my old 3-9X Daisy scope (which had zeroed just fine) with a new Hawke Air Max. At first I thought I must have a defective scope but a little searching revealed the true problem.
Things I would have changed:The 20.7 inch drop compensation on this model is more than needed for my Diana 34 as my Hawke scope now zeros at close to the minimum elevation. The black finish had flaked off on a small region. Otherwise 5 stars.
What others should know:I matched this with low mount Leapers Space Age rings which work great. The base is fairly high and the low mount rings gave my Hawke 4-12x40 scope plenty of clearance without having to remove the factory sight. - Things I liked:Just the Mount I needed for my Pellet Gun
- Things I liked:EASY INSTALLATION, worked out good on my old rws 45 which is 30 wears old and still shootin fine! Dont know why Iwaited so long to add a scope to it.
Things I would have changed:The front tang needed to be filed a little to fit the bulge in front of the 11mm rail which came on the model 45. - Things I liked:The thing that I like most.....I didn't have to use it!! No droop on my rifle. However I did install it, and that was a breeze. Great design, reasonably priced.
Things I would have changed:Nada
What others should know:There is also a mount from UTG that does NOT compensate for barrel droop (item # :LEMNT-DNTOWL[PY-A-2639]), so like me, that may be the one that you need. - Things I liked:Rock solid base. Very well manufactured. It not only has a lip on the front that you can see in the picture, but also a stop pin in the rear in order to help with the second springer recoil.
Things I would have changed:Nada
What others should know:I bought the medium rings to go with it, but feel they are too high. If I had to do it over again I'd definitely use the low rings. I have a 40mm scope and it sits way up high. Other reviews said that there was some obstruction that made the medium rings necessary, but now that I have it installed I can not understand what they are referring to. - Things I liked:Nice Sturdy Mount for Diana Air Rifles. Barrel angle adjustment is excellent. Put this mount on my RWS Model 36 and the fit was perfect.
What others should know:I just wanted to add to the review I posted earlier. I thought that a shorter mount would be best for this set up "I was wrong". In most cases having the scope mounted as close to the barrel as you can is the best set up , but not in this case. Putting a real low set of rings on this mount over compensates the barrel angle. Instead of not having enough up elevation in the scope now you don't have enough down elevation adjustment. I would recommended the UTG Premium rings Medium in Weaver mount. The UTC Premium Low rings I ordered work but the Medium rings would leave a little more elevation adjustment in the scope . - 1234
