I just bought a Diana RWS 48. I got a different edition as it was cheaper.

I also have a scope. Athlon Talos 6-24X50 scope.

I need to get rings/mount to mount the scope and am not 100% sure what would be best. I have read about the barrel droop in the RWS product line and surmise that I need a mount to compensate for this. But am confused as different products compensate for different amounts of droop. Also confused about the built in mechanism in the barrel to "lock" these mounts into place. So not sure which mounts are compatible with the 48. Here are setups I was looking at...

1. Leapers Compensation Scope Mount for RWS Airgun w/ T06 Trigger
Warne 1 Inch Permanent Attach Rings Low Matte 200M

2. RWS Lock Down 1-Pc Mount w/1" Rings, 11mm Dovetail, Barrel Droop Compensation

3. UTG Drooper Scope Rail, 11mm-to-Weaver Adapter, Compensates for Droop & Stops Scope Shift
Mantis 1" Rings, Medium, 3/8" Dovetail, 4 Screws/Cap

If anyone has experience or advice on these (or another option), please share. Your advice is very much appreciated!

I bought the RWS 48 "striker combo" from P.A. early this month. It came with the UTG Dropper mount. Except for the scope being HIGH (2.5 inches center of barrel to center of scope) I have no complaints. The weather finally was good enough this week and I could sight it in outside. I am shooting nickle sized groups at 27 yards with the JSB 18.3 pellets. I hope to get some improvement on that today. Here is a vidio by Joe Rhea where he reviewed the UTG mount:

Was about to get the UTG Drooper Scope Rail, 11mm-to-Weavedapter and UTG 1″ Rings, Low.

But I got the gun last night and it had an insert sheet/ad listing the following mount...

Bullseye ZR 1-Pc Mount, 1" Rings, 11mm Dovetail, 0.04" Droop Compensation, Recoil Compensation

Guess I thought if it was Diana made and recommended it would be appropriate. I also thought the recoil compensation may be easier on my scope. I didnt find many reviews online however. Of the ones I did find, most stated it worked as advertised and holds zero fine, but some said it wasn't as good.

Does anyone here here have experience with this mount? It would be about about twice as much as the UTG rail and rings.

Thanks
