High quality machining, fit my Rem 597 perfectly. Used the thread locker, installation took less than five minutes. Very low profile on the weapon. Mounted a red dot on it and had it zeroed by the end of the day. Solid as a rock. Very happy. Also, excellent customer service. I would buy again from these guys any day.

What a fantastic mount - this thing is rock solid. The dovetail on the rifle meshes precisely with the mount and takes a bit of persuasion to install - I applied a bit of gun oil to the rifle dovetail, started the mount onto the dovetail by hand approximately 1/2" or so and then GENTLY tapped the mount into position with a length of 1" dowel rod, but once installed it is very secure. Just make sure the mount is properly aligned before tapping it into position. I am much more comfortable with this mount than the less expensive mounts that are secured only by the strength of the three small screws. Do yourself a huge favor and spend the money for this mount, you won't be sorry.

I purchased the DIP Picatinny Rail Mount for my Remington 597 Heavy Barrel in 22 Magnum. My first concern with this purchase was the height of the mount above the receiver. On some of the thin Weaver style mounts, the mount is so close to the receiver that when the clamps on the scope rings are tightened the lower claw of the ring makes contact with the receiver creating a lifting force that can pull the mount up from the receiver stripping out the mounts screws. Since the receivers in most of these firearms are aluminum the steel mounting screws strip out the holes in the receiver requiring re-drilling and taping the receiver to a larger screw size. The DIP mount does not have this problem as the aluminum mount is of sufficient thickness to sit a good 1/8”+ above the receiver when in place. This is ample clearance to mount any standard scope rings as well as the heavy bar clamping mounts found on many night vision scopes. An unusual feature in this mount is the underside is grooved to slide into the existing dovetail cut into the receiver on this rifle. As far as installation be sure and lube both the dovetail and the mount before attempting installation. The black painted surface on my receiver was thick and the mount had to be driven in place using a small hammer and a block of wood so as not to scar the mount. It was so tight once in place that the screws were hardly needed, but I used a drop of thread locker to set the screws as instructed. Once installed this mount is rock solid like it is part of the receiver and creates a clean custom look. I can recommend this mount without reservation.
