List of drop tested mounts?

I have used Ken Farrel's (steel) Picatinny bases and (aluminum) rings on every rifle for about 20 years, and I ain't easy on gear. No complaints, no failures.

Another vote for the DNZ one piece on my Tikka. My buddy likes his UM set

I've been curious about the DNZs, specifically for Tikkas. The top surface of the Tikka receiver is totally flat, and the DNZ (or any other top mount rings or rails) is only clamped down with tiny 6-48 screws providing tension. It seems to me it would be possible for the entire mount to slide slightly on the gun if it ever got bumped.

Have you done any drop testing with yours?

I'm very tempted to try one.

I’m not gutsy enough to drop test but I can tell you this tikka 30-06 has been up and down the San Juan’s and the upper peninsula logging roads in a ranger in the back in a soft case as well as dropped by accident from a scabbard on a good sized quarter horse- still dead on. The rings are holding a trijicon credo.
