Description
The Dentler BASIS® mounting rail (Zeiss ZM) is the scope half of Dentler's two-part BASIS quick-release mount, for hunters who want to swap a Zeiss riflescope with a ZM rail between rifles, or take it off and put it back without re-zeroing. The scope clamps straight into this rail by its ZM rail, so you need no rings. The rail locks onto a BASIS base rail on your rifle with a lever, without play and with the same torque every time.
How the BASIS system works
- Base rail (on the rifle, sold separately). A steel rail made for your rifle model. It stays on the rifle, and Dentler says open sights can usually still be used.
- Mounting rail (this product, on the scope). It stays on the scope. Its underside fits every BASIS and BASIS VARIO base rail, so one scope can move between rifles that each have a base rail.
- Locking. Set the mounting rail on the base rail and close the lever. A pin with a set torque pulls the rail into place, play-free in all axes.

What you need to order
- A Dentler BASIS or BASIS VARIO base rail for your rifle model. Without it this rail has nothing to lock onto.
- No rings. A Zeiss ZM scope clamps directly into the rail.
- If you want to move the scope between several rifles, one base rail per rifle.
Fitting
Dentler recommends fitting by a gunsmith. In short: place the clamping blocks as far apart as the scope and your eye relief allow, fix the screws with threadlocker (e.g. Loctite 2400) to max. 5 Nm, then set the mounting rail on the base rail with the lever groove on the left, seen in the direction of fire. The torque is right when the marks on the rail and the locking pin line up, the lever opens and closes with moderate force and the rail sits without play. Make sure the rifle is unloaded before you start.
