Too each his own. Personally I would stay away from the DNZ mounting system. Especially with a cheaper scope. One of the things you give up with a cheap scope is good eye relief. Normally you only get a full field of view at one postition, and with little lee-way either forward or backward. And the DNZ system allows for ZERO adjustment going foreward or backward if you need a little space. And the second problem with them is the distance is also too close between the rings. That puts more weight out on the ends of the scope, and increases the harmonics of the scope.

Personally I like either the Warne or the EABCO base. It is a Picatinney style that allows for substantial adjustment. Forward and back. As well as allowing you to set the rings farther apart, which is an inherently stronger system. I guarantee you either the Warne or EABCO is every bit as strong, and probably stronger(because you can put the rings farther apart) than the DNZ.

I have seen more than a couple of guys have problems with the DNZ on Encore's. Especially when using a cheaper scope with less eye relief.

Below is a picture of the EABCO and the Warne. Look at how much adjustment you have, and how much longer the base is.

Personally I can not give a good recommendation on the cheaper scopes. I believe you get what you pay for. Tom.
