Most Helpful Positive Review GREAT Mount!
This is the third DNZ mount I've purchased; the second for a Contender barrel. All one piece makes for a very 'tidy' installation, and no need to lap the rings for alignment. The rear ring ends 3/16" past the barrel breech, which doesn't sound like it would make much of a difference, but it does. Gives much more adjustment for better eye relief. This is why I bought the second one for a Contender barrel. The only downfall is that they don't make a "low" version for smaller objective scopes. A 32mm objective sits 1/4" above the barrel. Pros: Clean, Tight, Extra Offset, One-Piece Cons: Heig...

A solid one piece scope mount

by Marc, Verified Owner from MI, United States Written on April 7, 2026
There aren't as many pincatinny rails available for the TC contender as I had hoped, and the ones I was looking for were out of stock. This DNZ one piece setup popped up and wasn't much more than just a pic rail, so I bought it. In typical Optics Planet fashion it shipped quickly with no issues. It fit perfectly on my SSK barrel and the medium height worked with the Burris Scout scope I already had.
Pros:
  • Price
  • light but solid
  • USA Made !!!
Cons:
  • None
Would recommend: Yes

Best mount around

by Ted, from WV, United States Written on April 3, 2026
Had a leupold double dovetail mount and it was horrible on my pistol. This mounted perfectly. I'm not into lapping rings. Can't go wrong with this mount. If you own a contender don't hesitate to use this mount.
Pros:
  • Perfectly square
Cons:
  • None
Would recommend: Yes

Contender scope base an rings

by ButcherBlock, Verified Owner from NC, United States Written on March 22, 2025
Hello
I love this product. It is so easy to work with. Screw down your base. Then just four screws for your rings. No tiny small parts. Longest screws for your rings I've ever seen.
I am using a Bull barrel. I am mounting a Sightron 4x16x42 scope. I haven't measured the outside diameter of my scope. But this is as large as you can use. The rubber front scope cap don't slide on completely. Too me that's ok, very clean appearance. Very simple. And much cheaper than most other options. I love them!! I have bought three sets in total, for now.
Pros:
  • None
Cons:
  • There should be a " high set " made.
Would recommend: Yes

Best Used for:
  • Contender pistol.

DNZ mounts

by Clint, from FL, United States Written on June 6, 2018
Perfect fit on the Contender, no ring lapping required, and it is sized perfectly for the frame. I was apprehensive that it might be a bit bulky, but it complements the pistol and scope perfectly. I ordered medium height and it works very well with a 32 mm objective. Just bought another for the Encore. My experience is limited to TCs, but I like the DNZ for these applications.
Pros:
  • Easy installation, rock solid and no lapping needed
Cons:
  • Pricey, but you get what you pay for. Optics Planet has lowest prices I've found, so $$ not an issue here.
Would recommend: Yes

Great scope mount

by Ridge Raider, from TN, United States Written on December 25, 2017
Perfect fit for my TC contender. I love the one piece base and rings. Well made and will hold up to powerful rounds. I have theses on a couple of my barrels, they are my favorite scope base mounts. The medium height mount was perfect for my 32mm objective scope to still allow space for the hammer to function.
Best Used for:
  • TC Contender
Would recommend: Yes

Great service, great product

by RiverTom, from AZ, United States Written on August 30, 2017
Bought this scope mount to install on my Thompson Contender in 30 Herrett, 10" barrel. It initially showed as a back ordered item but it seems like I had it in about a week and a half. Solid product, good quality and no hassles. Optics Planet came through with great service and I also ordered a scope which came in just a few days.
Pros:
  • Solid, well built. Light weight. Good value.
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • hunting, target shooting.

Great fit, Perfect scope positioning

by Cajuntec, from TX, United States Written on July 19, 2017
In comparison to similar products from other manufacturers (For example - Talley), I prefer this one. Others bases are unnecessarily extended further, which covers the barrel cartridge designation on Thompson Center Contender barrels. This one doesn't do that. I've found these mounts to be perfect on Contender pistol barrels.

Great scope mount for Contender

by William, from NM, United States Written on April 1, 2016
This lined right up with existing holes for rear Contender sight. It is a first generation contender. This fit on the gun well and fit the Burris 2.5 to 7 power scope. I was concerned about it fitting my first generation T/C Contender because it is so old but it fit fine.
Pros:
  • Solidly constructed
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • one inch scope only
Would recommend: Yes
