Picatinny vs DNZ style integrated base.

[emmagator]

Like the title says, which do you prefer and why? I understand you get alot of adjustment with the picatinny, but is that all? Thanks

I have rail type mounts for level and cos. So that space helps me

DNZ are zero MOA built in while picatannys can be obtained with 20, 30 and 40 MOA.

You would be wise for LR to use the 20 + MOA picatanny.

you can add an ACI and rail mounted scope level to the picatanny, while you cannot on the DNZ.

I beleive i need about 24MOA to get to a 1000yrds. A viper pst gives me 68 total moa, so why would i need a 20 moa base?

Regardless of either's attributes the picatinny or weaver mounts are so popular their
versatility alone makes them the better choice. Not to mention the 1/4 moa return to
zero most of the better one piece mounts deliver.

Scopes and bases rarely work out to put you in the optical center at 34 MOA each way.

Most like a setup with a little more leeway and verstatility

That makes sense.

I have a rail type on all, and that way it is easy to switch optics from one to another if you need

I wouldnt be switching optics around. Do picatinny rails with rings usually sit a little higher than a standard setup?

No the front bell will have similar clearance to barrel,based on ring height, most of my rings are lows or med. they vary from manufacture
