Diana Bullseye and RWS droop MOA?

I use the RWS lockdown on all of my springers. I think it is 15 degrees

Cheaper to buy the 30mm version for half price and buy or 3d print 1 inch inserts.

I don't think the Bullseye recoil proof mounts have any droop cpmpensation built in.

For droop issues, I use the Leapers DNT06 mount from Pyramyd Air. Its $14.96...I believe its got a bit more angle built in than the Lockdown. I keep one in stock just in case.

I've had the same question of how much cant I can get from different scope mounts....  



Here's a Scope Mounting Table — with over 20 different scope mounting options to increase your cant.

▪Options for dovetail and for picatinny rails — with adaptors included.

▪Total cant is noted.

▪Prices too.

▪And how high the total setup will raise the scope (as some of us like to mount our scopes as low as possible).

▪Mostly two-piece mounts.

I for one don't understand the need for a droop mount on a fixed barrel rifle. Barrel droop is prevalent on break barrel rifles where the barrel and receiver don't completely line up when the barrel is locked into the firing mode.

 Barrel drop is prevalent on many airguns. Neither my FX Impact PCP or my Diana 54 spring gun are break barrels but both require a drooper mount to get the scope centered correctly. 

Thanks fellas.

I am the RWS LockDown on multiple guns and gonna try the Bullseye on a D52.

If bd is right and the LD is 15 @ 0.025 droop then the BE is gonna be over 20MOA since it's advertised at 0.040 droop.

Anyone else can confirm?

I put a Bullseye on my 52 after trashing a scope or two and it has werqed very will for a thousand rounds so far. It locked up tight and gave me no accuracy issues so I bought a second for my 54. I can confirm the droop compensation looks to be over 20 MOA but that is all I can say because I have not looked into it to find the exact amount.

Makes no sense! The barrel and receiver on a side lever cocking springer are one parallel unit. The barrel and receiver on a break barrel are two separate components. If the barrel points downward and not running in a parallel line with the receiver then this is referred to as "barrel droop". I would never buy a droop mount for a fixed barrel springer without first trying the gun without one. Save your money and cross that bridge if you need to. I never needed a droop mount on either of my RWS 34 and they were both fine. 

I have the Bullseye ZR. It is droop compensated, but I don't know the amount. 

I took it off my rifle because it negatively affected accuracy. It was probably okay for shorter range hunting accuracy, but not for the precision shooting that I am striving for. 30 yard groups shrunk by about 30% when I took it off.

It is just a bit 'sloppy'. Shooting 30 yards from bucket and sticks, others noted that it easily 'wiggled' around. I took it off and switched for a one piece mount right there to test it. When I went back to shooting, it was noticeable. My groups shrunk from quarters to nickles. It was on a Diana 34 that is the most demanding and hold sensitive gun that I have ever shot. I am not great on bucket and sticks to begin with, but there was a clear difference. Others who shot it before and after noticed it too.

I have 3 Bullseyes and absolutely no problems. They came from Hector Medina’s Connecticut Custom Airguns. A little pricey, but necessary for a Disna54’s recoil.
