Page 3 of 7 - Bullseye ZR, for 1" or Reviews

I like the concept. But that's about it. I'm a master machinist for over 45 yrs. Mounted this on RWS 45. Repeatability @40 yds, 6" group at best. Scope moved all over the place. Tore entire mount apart. Rail Bores in body are not round or straight and surface finish, very rough. Rods are not straight, surface very rough. Bores measured .24a2 on one end .245 on other. Rods measured .234. I ended up reaming holes out to .250. Then turned and polished 2 new steel rails. Next issue was hole location on scope mount blocks were not the same as main block. I reamed those rail holes with .251 reamer to forgive hole misalignment. The overhaul took all day at the lathe and mill. Honestly, by the other reviews, I knew I was going to put some serious time into making this mount perform as it should out of the box. Had I not had the means to overhaul the entire mount mechanism, I wouldn't have bought it. The purchase saved me from having to machine the entire unit from scratch. Good concept.

Seriously, Diana, bring the mfg of these units back to the USA. There are plenty of CNC machines that can hold good tolerances and make this a really quality unit. But, out of the box, these mounts are a disgraceful pos.

oh boy a free floating scope mount

NOTHING

springers are abusive on scopes this will cut your scope expenses down to one scope

The concept.

The mount base fits solid as a rock to RWS dovetail but there needs to be some serious attention to detail in the slop in the shock absorbing part of the mount. Scope flops around side to side (left and right) rendering this scope mount useless.

This Mount(scope base) with my scope swinging side to side reminds me of a Crow flopping around getting his tail feathers plucked by Grackles...Yes ! That's how bad it is.

Concept ....

This is a piece of junk . I went with this on my .22 cal. Umarex Octane which is a very good shooter . It's only problem ( it also has a stiff trigger ) is that it EATS scopes . So I bought a new scope and this mount to protect it . While it might be true that it IS protecting my scope , so will not shooting it ! When you can't be sure of dispatching varmints with it humanly that is what's left for me to do . It is giving me a two inch spread at 50' . That is unacceptable for this rifle as I have shot dime sized groups with it at that distance . There's is a knockoff that's out there for 1/3 the price and I didn't want to''go cheap'' and then regret it . Well , I spent the $$ and still have my regret... I guess that I'm just going to have to live with the fact that scopes are going to be a consumable for these rifles . Ironic that that this cost the same as a serviceable scope .

The Bullseye is a great scope mount! I got the one with the one inch rings a couple of years back and it werqed so well on my Diana 52 that I stole it and put it on my 54 then bought another to replace it. I am consistently shooting 3/4 inch groups at fifty yards with my scope mounted in the Bullseye. So, that says something about the quality and consistency of the mount. No slop at all in either of mine. I bought this because I have trashed so many scopes, more than six, and wanted to put something halfway decent on my springers. Have a couple of thousand rounds on my Hawke Airmax and it is doing just fine with no signs of wear or damage.

Make it in a country other than China where there are so many QC issues. ;^(

The mount was to long, too much space between the rings, for my scope. I was able to adjust it by loosening the screws, under the rings, that hold the rods and pushing the rings together slightly then tightening them up. The rods stick out slightly from the rings on the side I did this to, but it does not affect the operation of the mount in any way.

It seems to work well. I was worried about consistency, but I'm getting far better groupings than I ever have with rifle.

I bought this to use on an Umarex Octane that would not stay zeroed in. I wasn't sure if the scope was damaged or if it was just getting knocked around by the recoil. The mount was cheaper than a scope, and I wasn't going to spend on another scope that would likely be damaged in the same way with out trying to correct the issue. The gun is holding zero much,much better now, so I think the ZR mount is working and the scope was not damaged. It was a little tricky to mount - if you over tighten the screws it doesn't slide easily, and I think it might be a little fragile if it gets knocked around if you handle the gun roughly, but that's true for any scope. I'm quite happy with it. I've shot a few hundred pellets with it and it's good so far.

Shipping was quite fast. Mounted it and zeroed it and fired 100 pellets. I put it on an older.22 cal. Umarex Octane, pre-Stopshox, so the rifle's a beast, and always shaking things loose. So far, it's been very good. I'm shooting as well as I ever have with that rifle, even a bit better. I think the scope is probably holding zero better than it ever has, (I've tried a few scopes and they've all had problems in the past), and seems more consistent, perhaps because the scope isn't getting beat around by the recoil. I'm optimistic at this point, I'll know more after a few hundred more rounds. It's seems cleanly built, quite nicely machined, although nothing special. We have gardens and pests problems - rabbits and woodchucks, so I need a utilitarian, magnum type, rifle. I really hope this mount will create a set up that I can count on being dependable enough so I can be confident of a clean kill, which has been a problem with this rifle, knowing that a miss is likely my fault.

I'd like a little better instructions and more of them. My rifle didn't need the compensation for scope droop, and I nearly shimmed the scope, but was able to adjust it adequately. Our of the box it didn't move smoothly on the rails, the front mount failing to return to the zeroing point. I thought about returning it, but instead put a little light oil on the rails and worked back and forth until it smoothed out. I found that you have to be gentle with the screws which retain the rods in the mount, over tighten and they don't allow it to move freely. I'd like to have snugged them a bit more, but nothing's moved so far. If and when it does, I'll use some locking compound on it. I'm not complaining, really. I suspect that problem indicates close tolerances, and that's far better than too loose. On the web there's mention of this product set up for a Picatinny rail, but I couldn't find one. If they are available it would be nice if Pyramyd stocked them.

It's not cheap, but neither are scopes, and magnum springers and gas pistons are really hard on them. I've had a lot of trouble keeping scopes zeroed even if they aren't destroyed, so I'm willing to trade a tiny bit of accuracy, (and I may not have to, I hope), to have a dependable, more durable, set up. At the moment I wish I'd tried this sooner. I looked at a lot of reviews and vacillated for a while. I don't know if a woodchuck can eat $60 of beans in a summer, but the damage they do sure makes my wife and I more than $60 worth of angry, so, If it helps me get a few, this may be a very good deal. I don't know if I can revisit this review, but if something changes I'll try to let people know.

Great Mount in new version. Holds POI at 30 yards with dime sized groups after 1000 rounds and counting. Have purchased another for my Diana 350 mag and my R9. Highly recommend...

Nothing

Follow mounting instructions for proper operation. This goes without saying but in the excitement to install...you could easily miss a step that affects accuracy...

Construction seems ok at first glance.

It will not hold zero. There is enough slop, on both of the ones I have, to render them worthless. Waste of money and time. Also, the machining on the screws are lacking.

You want to shoot consistently, look elsewhere.

Work really nice, keep the scope secure and absorb the recoil, I'm glad I bought this for my UTG scope

nothing really

the mount is very easy to mount, there is an extra screw provided you will need that screw to replace one of the screw when you tight up the mount
