Just picked up my first HW97 and need opinions on a good 1 pc 1" high mount... Thanks
BKL. They offer standard, droop compensated, or adjustable. All I use.
Just make sure that the "bump" on the bottom of the scope tube under the turetts is no more than .125" (1/8 inch) tall or it won't clear.

I would recommed the Diana Bullseye Zero-Recoil mount if you want to terminate completely and forever the problem of springer-induced scope breakage. With this mount you can use any scope you wish on your springer.
Below is an excerpt of my response to a post about springer-rated scopes about the Bullseye mount:
I’ve read about some people complaining about the mount not working as advertised, but I tell you this: It does work. It really does. You see, when I set it up on my TX200 I wondered why there was slight play (just only a tiny bit) on it when I twisted the scope just to see if all was tight. But then I noticed that on the rear of the front ring is a steel centering cone against which a corresponding hole on the base rests itself partially following a shot cycle or when just stationary. I tried moving the scope to the left and right to see if POI continued to be true and it did. I even recorded in slowmotion a shot taken with the ZR mount and it showed that only the rifle kicked back—the scope stayed put.

Thanks for the tips guys.
My gun is .177. I will only be shooting 50 yds or less. I will probably put the sub 12 spring in the gun. Is the droop mount necessary?
Spinj... I have thought about the ZR but have read mixed reviews. I am a newbie. I wouldn't be able to tell if there was a problem with the mount or not....
I am thinking the expensive Beeman ($55ish) with rock solid reviews or a Hawke for about half the price ($25ish). Unless the droop is necessary then I will start over and start looking at those.

I have the Beeman Sportsmatch 1 pc adjustable mount and there's a possibility of movement just like FX No Limits and Eagle Vision when used on a Springer. I say go 1 piece BKL Drooper because every single one of my 77s and 97s had typical barrel droop and unless you're only using a low 2-7x scope you'll be pretty bummed when you run out of clicks and still shooting an inch low at 20 yards. Yo!

I'd teach you how to bend your barrel to offset the droop but most readers would probably get a heart attack. Yo!

Sportsmatch 1 piece 4 screw.
For a HW97 you really do not need a Dampa mount or some mount with springs in them.
Technically these sledding artillery mounts are less accurate. Why have a mechanical mount anyway? Especially in a rifle that is not known for hard recoil / vibration.
