Page 2 - UTG Scope Mount Base, Fits Reviews

It is a solid mount on my RWS 350. That's all that I found good about this one. The one I have moved the point of impact 2+ inches to the right at 25 feet relative to several other configurations I tried before buying the DN 460. It also gave me no elevation improvement from the DN 034 which gives an advertised greater compensation. In fact when I returned to the 034 in desperation the impact moved down in stead of up. Definitely a waste of money in my case! I should have shimmed and saved a bunch of consternation.

I gave both UTG and Pyramyd extensive info on my attempts and each said basically the same. (Yup! Airgun scopes are problematic. Read this manual and keep trying.) Not much help at all!!!

everything, built like a tank.

sturdy and mounts tightly. Weaver mounting base instead of dovetail. great price.

nothing at this price

I mounted this on an older RWS 48 in .177 to see if it actually will hold up to some heavy recoil. So far so good. I have shot at least 800 pellets out of the gun in the last week and the scope is still sitting where it started. My arm is sore from cocking this rifle but the mount has not loosened at all. I did use some blue loctite on the threads to be sure. The piece that prevents movement on the front of this mount is a slight bit big. I was able to sand down a small amount to make it sit just shy of the receiver. It engages the factory mount perfectly and sits level. Once you lock this down it isn't moving. I did have an RWS c mount on before which worked well. The only trouble is the scope rings are 1 inch and I wanted to install a 30mm scope. The weaver mount is also great at keeping the rings from moving. I do like a one piece mount since it looks cleaner but at this price and since the mount fit so securely, I don't mind the seperate rings. It also gives me more options as to size of scope barrel. I was also able to mount a peep sight to the rail which I played with for a hundred pellets. Kind of neat getting the open sight to sit way back on the receiver instead of where the factory sight is installed. Was actually very acurate at 20 yards off a rest with the peep sight. Nice surprise. If the scope failed on a hunting trip, I can install the peep and keep going. I like this mount.

This base comes in two versions, each designed for specific RWS Rifles, the model numbers accompanying the literature. I put this on an RWS 52, and there is no more scope shift or creep. The built in droop compensation allows the scope to remain very close to its optical center, without approaching the scope's limits up or down. I mounted a pair of the new Hawke low profile rings with four screws per ring-cap. The Leapers 3 x 9 x 50, a heavy scope, doesn't move. I had it zeroed in at the standard 10 meter aigun distance in five shots.

The front shoulder and the rear stop pin keep this thing anchored in place with zero movement. As an option, offer this part without the front extended 'shoulder' so that it can also be used with rifles other than Diana/ RWS.

I filed the front shoulder off the second unit and put it on the TX-200, and it works beautifully. Torque for the base mount screws is 30 inch/ lbs, Hawkwe ring bases 20 inch/ lbs, and ring-caps 15 inch/ lbs.

Well designed scope mount base for the price. Performing well on my RWS Diana 48.

Nothing.

Very well made

Base is app 19mm high before installing rings. This is way too high for the RWS 48 even with low rings. Make a set with a height of app 12-14 mm's

If your rifle does not have a raised stock like the RWS 48 this is way too high for proper scope mounting even with low rings. The model 52 with it's raised cheek piece monte carlo type stock would be a better fit but I bet it's still too high. After reading the reviews here it is obvious that many shooters do not understand how a scope should be mounted on a rifle. Scopes on any rifle, firearms or air, should be mounted as low as possible and as close to the bore of the rifle as possible with just enough clearance to allow the front objective of the scope to clear the barrel. Clearance the thickness of a dime is plenty and many of my rifles have less than that. If you are not familiar with scope mounting do yourself a favor and go to a Sportsmans Wharehouse, local gun store or gunsmith and shoulder a bolt action rifle with a scope mounted and check out your eye alignment with the scope. Your cheek should be solidly against the stock and you SHOULD NOT have to raise your head to see through the scope. If you do you will never shoot your best and the set up will always feel awkward and uncomfortable because your head is not melded with the stock. I have also noticed that many airgun scope mounts do not allow the scope to be positioned forward enough to allow proper eye relief without hitting the mount. Your head should be down on the stock and forward slightly. You SHOULD NOT have to pull your head rearward to obtain a clear sight picture in the scope. If you have to move your head to the rear there is not enough forward movement possible with that scope mount. Also stay away from those rediculous "see through" mounts that raise the scope way up to allow iron sight use. These points are all scope mounting 101 but they are absolutely critical. If you have access to a local gunsmith you can usually talk to them for no charge if you are not sure about what to do. Beware the "Rambo" characters in gunstores who think the AR platforms are the only rifles worth talking about and are military wantabees.

With this product I was able to get my scope centered on my rws 48,I had previously used all the adjustment downward and couldn't get zeroed in. It did what it was supposed to do at a fair price

nothing

My two rws 34's didn't need this product but the 48 did. But I've heard some 34's do need it.

fixed the mount travel issue I was having - I hated my RWS 460 until I added this mount - every mount I tried would walk towards the butt of the rifle til now. This with low Hawke Rings mounts a 50mm scope on a RWS 460 perfectly - so happy I did not bail on my rifle.

the mount is bulky , takes away from the beauty of the rifle but functionally it does what you want it to do

Great buy for my 460 - I would recommend as the cure all scope mount solution

Rock solid on my Diana 460,cant beat the price either.

Nothing.

My 460 had a bit of droop,now the scope is well centered.

This is THE mount for RWS rifles. This mount will not shift. Fits RWS Model 48 perfectly.

Instructions could be more specific as to how much torque the mounting screws can stand. Was afraid to really crank the screws as much as I would like to have.

Get low rings. I used the Hawke Weaver low rings and they are more than high enough. Would love to find even lower rings.

Rock solid mount if you really crank it down and use locktite. My RWS 52 really likes to throw around rings and mounts. This one is about the best there is for droop compensating. Works better than the adjustable bases out there.

Maybe make it steel instead of aluminum so it gets a better bite on the dovetail.

Well made. Mounting tangs are clean and sharp, engage the receiver grooves precisely, and clamp well. The alloy is harder than most of the competitor's cast mounts, and the surface finish is more durable. The front stop absolutely stops scope movement on the receiver of my RWS 350, and the droop compensation puts the scope well within its adjustment range. I love it! Consistent dime-size 10-shot groups at 25 yards from a sandbag rest. No movement in 250 shots so far.

I would add a fourth clamping screw. I would also like VERY MUCH to see this mount in a configuration for the Beeman RX-series airguns, which seem to defy secure scope-mounting!

Beats the daylights out of any B-Square scope mount for the RWS airguns!

1) The price is GREAT 2) Like Listerine...Says what it does, Does what it says.

Can't think of anything.

After finding the true center of my scope, it shot 14" low. This base fixed that. When sighted at 30 yards, it shoots flat enough from 10-40 yards that I don't have to worry about compensating for pellet drop while hunting. I'm very happy with this mount, especially after spending WAY too many hours messing with an adjustable one.

Picatinny rail, solid scope stop device, light weight

I could not zero my scope. I suspect that this mount is not dimensionally correct or that the machining is not precise.

After wasting a lot of time and money on mounts that claimed to compensate for barrel droop on my RWS Model 54, but didn't, I finally have a very well made mount base that works perfectly with my Leupold scope and Rws Model 54...and it was the least expensive one too.

It will probably not need it, but having 4 mounting screws rather than 3 would give it a better grip and more symetrical look.

This is the stuff guys it is perfict

nothing

these are great!!

Excellent piece of equipment that I have all the confidence in. I like its versatility in that just about any scope and ring configuration can be mounted on the Diana with this Base, unlike the RWS one-piece that will not accommodate a compact scope.

Perhaps go with a 4-bolt clamp for the dove-tail like the RWS one-piece instead of the current 3-bolt. No problems encountered as yet, but it does stand to reason that a 4-bolt would be a little better.

This Base works very well on my Diana 460 Magnum. Looks good too. I highly recommend this Base.

This is perhaps the most useful accessory ever produced for RWS Diana rifles. One engineered piece solves two problems Diana rifles have been plagued with. It corrects for barrel droop and provides for no slip mounting of your scope.

I wouldlike to see another mounting base with less droop correction for rifles that have little or no barrel droop.

Does exactly what it is supposed to do. I use it on my Diana 48. A perfect fit. If you have a Diana, this is the mount you want.
