DZ scope mounts question

Before I try anything….. once I get my zero are you able to loosen and move the knob to get it to the “0”zero on the windage and elevation knobs or do you just have to remember the number you were at when you zeroed the mounts. I know I can with my scopes on my other guns but wasn’t sure in theses DZ mounts and didn’t see anything in the literature.

Bob,
I have several of the DZ scopes and never tried to "zero" the knobs. I don't think they are intended to do so.  Their web site has an "ask Dan" feature and possible can get an answer there.
Like with Soule sights, I keep a book with all the settings.  The markings on the DZ mounts are very easy to read and convenient to set.
Mike.

I solved that problem by just buying enough scopes so I can have one dedicated to each rifle.   Smiley Wink Cheesy Grin
  

People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.

Bob,
Mike is correct, DZ arms will give you the instructions, and I have used their directions to zero my windage.  You need very small allen wrench to loosen the cover, and move your zero.  Good luck, it is pretty straight forward.

4 target rifles with iron sights 2 are switch barrel. 6 sets of target sights. Some allow zeroing windage setting either front or rear sight others don’t ,

Save complication and avoid errors I keep windage settings in sight books  one for each rifle . Single hunting rifle would probably zero on the rear.

I have two scopes with DZ arms mounts and I use them on four different rifles for black powder cartridge rifle shooting. I have zeroed the scopes on two rifles so that the windage is right at 50. When I move it to another rifle, I have shims made from a feeler gauge of just the right thickness. Every .002" moves it one minute. I've been fortunate enough that they have both been needed on the left side of the mount when moved to other rifles because it only works on that side and won't work on the right side if you need to move the scope the other direction to get your zero. I then use 50 as my zero for windage and can work either direction just like a soule sight while shooting. Makes a whole lot more sense to me doing it that way than trying to do the math and remembering the numbers from where you were the last shot to the next shot like at the Quigley with all the wind changes.
