The DNZ Game Reaper 12044 delivers rock-solid scope mounting for Marlin lever-action rifles with its precision-machined one-piece design. This mount eliminates the alignment issues and potential failures common with traditional two-piece bases by integrating the base and rings into a single component. Hunters and shooters gain consistent zero retention and improved accuracy potential from their optics setup.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard scope mounts that rely on separate bases and rings, the Game Reaper features a monolithic construction machined from aircraft-grade aluminum. This one-piece design eliminates stress points and potential movement between components that can cause scope shift. The mount provides 20 MOA of built-in elevation adjustment, extending effective range compared to standard zero-cant mounts.
Key Features
- One-piece construction eliminates base-to-ring alignment issues
- Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum for strength-to-weight ratio
- 20 MOA elevation built into the mount design
- Fits Marlin 336, 1894, 1895, and similar lever-action models
- 1-inch ring diameter accommodates most hunting scopes
- Matte black anodized finish resists corrosion and glare
- Torx screws provide secure, repeatable installation
Field performance centers on maintaining zero through the cycling action and recoil of lever-action cartridges. The rigid platform keeps scopes properly aligned during rapid follow-up shots common in hunting situations. Weather-resistant anodizing protects against moisture and temperature extremes encountered in outdoor environments. The low-profile design maintains the classic lines of traditional lever guns while adding modern optics capability.
