Reply With QuoteNeed to make sure the DNZ mount will work with the Axis. The Axis is different than the 10-110 Savages.
Looking at putting together an axis .308
Im planning on using a vortex diamondback 3-9x40 and a dnz game reaper one piece solid low mount.
Anybody know if this combo will work well together?

They have a mount specifically for the Axis.

I just want to make sure that everything will fit together well.
Good to see somebody else jumping on the Axis bandwagon.
Ive used the dnz low mounts w a leupold 40mm obj w a varmint barrel w plenty of room to spare. So it should fit w no prob. I know they extended their product line to include the axis/edge rifles when they came out. They are very good mounts and they are all i have used for a long time now without one problem. No need to loctite the screws anymore either.

Awesome! Thanks for the info airaddict!
I used low dnz mounts on my .223 and get some rub from the bolt handle on the eyepiece of my 4-12x40 redfield. I just mounted a VX3 Leupold 3.5-10x40 on my new stainless Axis .30-06 and used medium height dnz mounts and that works perfectly. Now i just need a nice day to go shoot this thing and see how she does.

Farmer44mag, How much higher is the medium compared to the low?
This mount i have now is my first one that was the low mount. Previously i stuck to the med mount cuz i was afraid of the bell not clearing the harrel but this time i took a chance and it cleared after all. I think the med will clear up to 50mm plain bell or 44mm w AO. For 50mm AO and above ur better off w the high. I have had a 44mag scope from simmons on one of these rifles w the med mounts.

It's really not that much higher. It gives you plenty of clearence for the bolt handle. It makes it a little easier when shooting at the bench for me- My earmuffs make it hard to shoot with the low mounts.
I guess i am used to medium mounts as i have them on 3 other rifles- if you are used to low mounts you may not like them. You do need to adjust your scope elevation turret quite a bit more the higher you go with the scope.

I think you will find that the closer you can keep the optics to your barrel w/o interferance from the bolt or anything, the better it will shoot for you.
Yes I agree, Im gonna try the low mount and see how it works. Thanks for all the info!
Update: The DNZ LOW MOUNT does NOT fit with a vortex diamondback 3-9x40. Other scopes might not have clearance issues but the LOW mount is too low for the vortex. So I ordered a medium one which should be perfect.
I have a Nikon 6-18x40m scope on my Axis using Burris Xtreme Tactical Mediums.
My experience was that low mounts do not provide enough clearance for the bolt handle.
