Thanks Joe for the video.
I read on another forum where it was recommended to take it apart and install two small O rings on the rods in the front to add some cushion.

Nice video Joe!
I just got one of these with my new Diana AM03 Stealth! I'm looking forward to putting some rounds through it.

Nice Tom! This one is on my wish list. Hope you will be able to give some feedback in the near future. I’m certainly interested in your thoughts."Tominco"Nice video Joe!

According to internet reviews there are shooters claiming that the "ZR mount" is excellent, however there are a large number of reviews claiming the opposite.
Here are a few examples..........
"THE FRONT RING CAME OF THE PINS ON THE FIRST DAY OF USE WHILE ZEROING. THE PINS STOP MOVING FREELY WHEN YOU TIGHTEN THE SCREWS ON THE SCOPE. MY CROSMAN OPTIMUS .22 HAS A DOVETAIL TO WEAVER RAIL. MOUNTED THE BULLSEYE ZR MOUNT ON IT. SCOPE WAS 2.25IN. HIGH. THE SCOPE WOULD NOT ZERO EVEN USING SHIMMING. MOUNTING THE BULLSEYE ON MY RIFLE WAS MISSION IMPOSIBLE."
"The ZR mount has low rings, on some scopes the middle section with the turrets extends a little below the main tube. Enough where it hits the ZR mount. So you can not use that scope or if it just needs a small amount of clearance shimming the bottoms of each ring might raise the scope enough for the center of the scope to clear."
"I bought the BULLSEYE MOUNT and the group of my gun went from 1/2 inch to 2 inch. this thing is too flexible for any accuracy. I sent it back.
If accuracy is an objective DON’T BUY."
Generally i use vortex scopes so I will be testing a few of the ones here before i make my mind up.
"I bought one about 6 months ago and my groups went from dime size to inch and one quarter. Needless to say I sent it back. If you like accuracy don’t even consider this toy!"
" I had it on a Benjamin NP2 in .22 caliber. Was terrible!! Every shot was in a different area on the target, wouldn’t hold a tight group. I removed the sight and put the same scope (as on the mount) back on the gun and all was fine. Don’t know what else to tell you."
There are a lot more but this is enough "negative"
It's a rather pricey mount that limits the "choice of scope" and simply too expensive to just "buy and try"! Please keep us posted concerning how the mount works for you!

Please post some pics or scans of your "most accurate" 40 to 50 yard groups with the "ZR" mount vs your "not so accurate" groups with a "normal" non spring loaded mount on the same gun.
Have you tried the "ZR" mount and "normal mount" on the same gun? If "spring loaded mount" is used due to concern of "scope trashing" without also comparing with a "normal mount" then a comparison would be hard to make. I personally don't see how a spring loaded mount with sliding parts could be more accurate than a properly mounted solid mount .

Oh No Ed , If you were leaving a comment for me , I can't see Anyway it could be more accurate ! Or even AS accurate as a stable mount .
Just thought it was a cool piece for guys who have magnum springers and get tired of trashing scopes . The one on this rifle has very little slop . But ANY play is going to show up in group size . All the comments are correct that it very limits which scopes work .
I did a review that's not edited yet on the BSA scope in this video and it BARELY fits . And doesn't have a thick saddle at all.
Would I trust it to help me shoot my best benchrest scores ...No
Would I trust it to help scope life on a hard kicking springer ...Yes

Sorry Joe, the reply was to this comment from Lewis "My 2 most accurate springers both have ZR mounts. All I can say is it works for me."
To make such a comment I was wondering is both the "spring loaded mount" and a fixed solid mount were used on the same gun.

Does anyone happen to know how much droop compensation this mount has in comparison to the UTG drooper scope rail? Unfortunately they use different units in measuring the amount of compensation... My 34 has so much droop it needs the UTG mount AND a shim!
UTG: Decreases barrel droop with 10" upward compensation at 30 yds
Diana: 0.04" droop compensation (approximately 1mm)
Oh and that's an other great video Joe
Warning...

I had same problem with the UTG DNT06 rail. I used the UTG DN034 drooper rail made for the T05 trigger on my 34 with the T06 trigger. DN034 has almost 20 in elevation at 30 yds. It fits if you grind the shoulder off one end. Gives you plenty of elevation.

Oh, that's good to know! And I assume you're referring to grinding off the curved tab on the bottom-left side here? (And sorry for the diversion / thread hijack!)

Joe's response was spot on. Sorry if my post was misleading, Introducing an additional variable (moving mount) is never a good thing. I would never claim that it does anything to make a gun more accurate, My 2 most accurate springers are a Diana 54 and an HW 97. They both have ZR mounts and it does not appear to have had any negative effect on either. I first used one on the 54 to protect a fairly expensive Bushnell 4200 elite. The 97 got one to protect a cheap UTG 6-24. I would not put one on a PCP since there is no need but, I would put one on another springer in a heartbeat, even one I would compete with.
