Page 3 - RWS Lock Down 1-Pc Mount Reviews

Works as it's supposed to. I had a 30mm version on my rifle before in combo with a big Hawke Sport Optics 6-24x56 AO Sidewinder 30 SF rifle scope. Has two set screws to keep it from sliding around. These fit perfectly into the recesses on my RWS Diana Magnum.

A wider ring with two more screws per end. A gun that requires locking screws also needs more ability to hang onto the scope than any other mounts do, yet it has small, one screw clamping. This would add next to zero cost. Price is already unusually high for a mount. I'm sure it's high priced because of the RWS association...

You need this if you have an RWS break barrel springer! Get a good scope that is designed to handle the significant recoil!The mount can't do it by itself!

Helped to fix an annoying barrel droop issue.

Nothing, works as designed

Helps to bring the rear up to overcome barrel droop problem, more important to know your range to be accurate.

At last RWS has done SOMETHING to acknowledge and address droop in its springers. Fit, finish and workmanship are all top shelf.

Give it four screws per cap, instead of just two.

Works as described; use blue loctite when installing. Have it mounted on my RWS 48. 1 piece mounts are not my first choice in mounts, as they limit your options for positioning a scope. But simple is good, too, and this mount does keep things simple.

Its a nice product for the money compared to other makers. Solved the barrel droop on my trusty old RWS45.

Make sure you point the arrow in the right direction.

Excellent product. Designed to fit RWS rifles perfectly. PA has it for at least 10 bucks less than other places. Has special anti-creep stud built in to match top of rifle.

Maybe a little lighter but still retain the high quality. Make it in Germany or even the USA and put more of us back to work.

Don't mess with cheap .22 mounts that you have knocking around like I did. Bite the bullet (pellet) and get these. You don't have to crank up the scopes elevation to compensate for barrel droop. The mount is already set to go.

Price, and the fact that it compensates for barrel droop.

The location of the stop pins. I had to grind on it a bit to make it fit my rifle, so the stop pin would line up properly in my receiver.

I have a Crosman Vantage NP, and it recoils like the devil. I bought this unit to defeat both the scope creep I was experiencing, as well as a slight barrel droop problem (which becomes more pronounced with higher scope mounts, which I needed). Some folks (I was one of them) have expressed concerns regarding the top caps having only two hold-down screws...don't! It seems to me that just by being one piece, and having a stop screw, 99% for the "recoil-shift" has been engineered out of the equation. My point is this: two-screw caps seem to work just fine ON THIS UNIT. I've not put enough shots through the rifle, since installing this mount, to give a comprehensive long-term opinion, but I have put enough shots through it to know that my scope would have lost it's zero with any of the previous set-ups I've tried, FOR CERTAIN! Now for the bad: well, not really "bad", just something I might change if I were RWS. The stop pin location is a bit far forward of the rear scope ring (1/4-1/2 inch, I believe). This forced me to grind about 1/4 inch of metal off of the clamping surfaces, on the rear of the mount. I had to do that so the mount could be far enough to the rear to allow the stop pin to properly line up with recess in my receiver. I would have preferred to see the stop pin location centered in the rear scope ring base, much like a two piece set would be. In closing: if you don't own an RWS rifle, you may have to modify it a bit, but the end result works well.

Scope tape on the rings.

Good mount for the price, 1 piece makes thing easier

Would have preferred four screws over the two

Originally bought this to fix the barrel droop for my TF99, it was to long. Ended up putting it on my Hatsan Torpedo 150 fitted with a UTG 4x32, works like a charm.

nice clean design, four bolts on base clamp, solves barrel droop problems at a reasonable price point.

This mount is great, *except* for the narrow two-bolt tube clamps, for a strong or abrupt recoiling gun like the Gamo Bull Whisper IGT that I mounted this on, a wider four bolt clamp is essential to prevent the tube from shifting backward. Even torqued well beyond advisable tightness, the scope (an older leapers 3-9x) started travelling backward in the rings after just twenty shots.

This mount would be a great solution for a lower recoil springer that needs droop compensation, but it just doesn't cut it on higher recoil guns like the one I tried to use it with... It looks like the next thing for me to try is a UTG droop compensating weaver rail and a set of beefy weaver bases... wish me luck.

Four locking bolts for the dovetail.

It is too tall. There needs to be a model w/ low/medium rings that'll place a 44mm objective closer to the barrel. As is, it's WAAAAY too high off the barrel. It should have 8 allen bolts and not just four on top of the mounts.

Just as good as recommended. Good, solid sturdy mount. Installed on RWS 350 Pro Compact in 22.

Nothing

Good for large belled optics. Little high for a 32mm or 40mm scope. I like my scopes mounted as close to barrel height as possible.

Solid,Solid,Solid. Have this on my Nitro piston Hatsan .25 Sniper. It's awsome

Nothing

Buy it First don't waste your money on any thing else Especially if you got a Break barrrel or any lever

Dual recoil pins stop scope creep. Droop compensation helps if you are shooting very close range, and run out of elevation adjustment. I shoot indoors, at about 7.5 yds, and this mount helped me get my up/down adjustment perfect.

Add four screws per top ring mount.

Not just for RWS rifles. I used one on a QB57 and it works excellent. Make sure to clean scope and mount before mating. Pyramyd is the only place to shop for your plinking needs.

locks down solid I have never had a problem with RWS mounts

nota

these are better than leapers because rws will not require shims

4 mounting screws to the 11mm groove and it does compensate for barrel droop on my RWS mod 34,the scope elevation adjustment is not maxed out.

even though the scope rings are only 2 screws per ring I have had no slipping problems with this mount.

Quality of construction. Ease of use. Same brand as my gun. Rock solid.

The amount of barrel droop compensation needs to be increased.

I used this with a BSA 3-7X32AO scope on my RWS 48 .22 and needed to use quite a bit of downward adjustment on the scope (8 inches low at 20 yrds using RWS pointed pellets). I should probably shim the scope in fact which is disappointing since the gun and mount are the same brand and the mount is supposed to be compensated for barrel droop...

good quality ,droop compensation

Make it a half inch shorter its to long for shorter scopes

the double pins and 4 screws make this mount as good as it gets

High quality. I like the 4 mounting screws on the bottom where most others are 3. Easy to install.

Would rather have 4 screws for each ring instead of 2. But so far they hold tight and hasnt been an issue. I havent even loc-tighted yet because they are holding tight. I was worried about stripping the screws if they were cheap like ones i had on a Gamo mount but no problem so far.

Nice mount. A little pricey but is high quality.

This is a very secure, strong mount. I have full confidence that mounted correctly you will never experience scope movement.

Nothing

A good scope and accurate gun won't perform unless the mount holds properly. You will be impressed with this mount.
