The DNZ Game Reaper 18500 delivers a solid one-piece mounting solution for Browning rifles, eliminating the alignment issues common with traditional two-piece ring systems. This machined aluminum mount combines the base and rings into a single unit, providing enhanced stability for optics up to 1-inch tube diameter.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard ring and base combinations that require separate alignment, the Game Reaper's one-piece construction maintains perfect ring alignment straight from the factory. The mount attaches directly to Browning's proprietary receiver holes, creating a lower profile than Weaver or Picatinny rail systems. This direct-mount design reduces overall scope height by approximately 0.25 inches compared to rail-mounted alternatives.
Key Features
- One-piece machined aluminum construction eliminates ring misalignment
- Matte black hard-anodized finish resists corrosion and reduces glare
- Direct mount to Browning receiver holes - no rail required
- 1-inch ring diameter accommodates standard hunting scopes
- Low-profile design maintains proper cheek weld positioning
- Torx screws included for secure, repeatable installation
- Compatible with Browning A-Bolt, X-Bolt, and BAR rifle models
Field testing demonstrates the mount's ability to maintain zero through temperature changes and recoil cycles typical of big game hunting. The rigid one-piece design transfers recoil energy evenly across the mounting surface, reducing stress on individual mounting points. Hunters report consistent point-of-impact retention after transport in rifle cases and ATV mounting systems.
