You would need the short action.
Thank you very much!BadKarma said:You would need the short action.
We use the game reaper at the gun store I work at,they are of very good quality and fitstonecutter2 said:Hi, there! First post here.
I've got an SPS Tactical .223 on the way, and was looking into the Dednutz Game Reaper scope mount. My question is - they list long or short action. The EGW picatinny rail mount also has a choice of long or short action. Which one would fit the SPS Tactical .223?
Anyone have any experience with this Game Reaper mount in particular?
Was also looking at the EGW picatinny rail mount with Burris Xtreme Tactical rings, but that combo would cost twice what the Game Reaper would cost. I also like the idea of having the base/rings in one solid unit on the Game Reaper mount.
Thanks for the help!

I have the dnz one-piece combo mounted on my .17 HMR Savage rimfire. It's a great solid mounting system. However, your scope mounting options (positioning the scope forward or rear-ward) are limited due to the fixed distance between the rings. With your new rifle, I would strongly recommend that you go with the picatinny rail and a good set of rings as you mentioned in your first post. EGW, TPS, and Badger Ordnance make some top quality rails, but have a pretty big price tag. A lot of guys also love the Burris XTR rings. For a lower priced option, you might want to check out the Weaver one-piece multi-slot base and tactical rings. You're gonna love that rifle!
Sounds great. Thanks for the info, and thanks for the welcome!dratt1957 said:We use the game reaper at the gun store I work at,they are of very good quality and fitstonecutter2 said:Hi, there! First post here.

well. I have only mounted them on muzzleloaders so far, they are line bored, they only thing
I am not fond of is that you cant move the rings to suit your application.If you are not planning
on shooting 800-1000 yds you can use weaver tactical rings and bases you usually can buy them both for around $50.00 I use them all of the time with great sucsess. Oh and by the way WELCOME
to the forum.
Was considering the 1 piece Game Reaper, but now have decided to go back to the idea of an EGW base with Burris XTR Tactical rings.RBoomK said:sc2,
What did you come up with for a base? If you decided on the Weaver multi-slot, use the 1/2" medium height rings. These will give you approximately 1/4" of clearance between the scope bell and the barrel. I forgot to mention in my last post to check out SWFA.com for your components. They have a great selection and some of the lowest prices.
