The DNZ 12280 Game Reaper scope mount eliminates the traditional two-piece mounting system with a precision-machined one-piece design that delivers rock-solid optic stability. This Ruger-specific mount combines base and rings into a single unit, reducing potential points of failure while maintaining zero through countless shooting sessions.
What Makes This Different
Unlike conventional scope mounts that rely on multiple components and potential stress points, the Game Reaper features a monolithic aluminum construction that spans the entire receiver length. The integrated design eliminates ring-to-base movement that can cause scope shift during heavy recoil. CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, this mount provides 50% more surface contact with the receiver compared to standard two-piece systems.
Key Features
- One-piece construction eliminates base-to-ring movement and potential failure points
- Precision-machined 6061-T6 aluminum construction with matte black finish
- 1-inch ring diameter accommodates standard hunting and tactical scopes
- Ruger-specific design fits 10/22, American Rimfire, and select centerfire models
- Four-screw ring caps with 18 inch-pounds torque specification
- Low-profile design maintains iron sight clearance when needed
- Windage and elevation adjustment capability built into ring design
Field performance demonstrates the mount's ability to maintain zero through temperature extremes and repeated mounting cycles. The extended contact surface distributes recoil forces evenly across the receiver, preventing the scope creep common with lighter mounting systems. Competition shooters and hunters report consistent point-of-impact retention even after scope removal and reinstallation.
