Scoping a CZ....

[gizamo]

I know we have a lot of CZ guys here...

Putting a scope on them is usually a headache. You can high mount them, but old school is to just clear the front bell at the trainer sights, yet clear the bolt in the rear ocular.

I have done a few if these... Always a challenge. Found a website devoted to this. Is it ok to share the link?

Here is a FS Lux .452. Low scope mounts keeps your cheekweld

NIKON rimfire Prostaff 4 x 32 just fits...

I really like your 452 full stock. They are so good looking. I have the 452 American and it's a real shooter. I have a Mueller 6x14 scope on it. Don

Something with small ends is what I figured on...I slapped a old K4 on my 527 in .22 hornet, with a set of Conetrol Daptar bases and medium rings.

I love their bases and rings, but they can be pain in rear to put on.

I've got a couple of them. The first was sort of a learning experience; this is a 1950 Brno Mod-1 (ZKM451) that I've had for almost 20 years. Despite the clobbered-together bases and cheap scope, it's a tack driver:

At the time that I bought it, these things were imported by J&G at way less than $200. I didn't think much of drilling and tapping for the bases. About all I can say now is: at least it wasn't a "TFG".
Anyway, time marches on, things get learned and I recently broke down and got another one:

A 452 American onto which I put a Mueller 4.5X14 with CZ bases; a much better arrangement. I'm waiting for my suppressor permit to go through for this one. As is, it's also a tack driver; probably a bit more accurate than the Mod-1, but only because it's got better optics. -S2

I have a 452 American and my solution was to use an old long Redfield scope I have and mount it so the eyepiece is far enough back that the bolt doesn't touch it.

absolutely fine rifles, wish I had discovered them earlier.

I have a 452 American, in .17 HMR, a real tack driver.

Also a 527 American, in .221 Fireball. That rifle will shoot cloverleafs all day long. I get 3300 fps with a 40 grain Ballistic Tip, and IMR 4227.

My reloading buddy has a full stock in 6.5 X 55. I didn't expect it to shoot well (full stock), wrongo, shoots like a dream.

I chose not to scope my CZ452 FS and Lux since they have such nice sights. Went with Burris rings on my American. They position the scope pretty low yet give enough clearance for the bolt.

Here is the link to list of rifles with ring and scope combinations....that work with various CZ model.

I did not have any problems mounting a Weaver 4x Rimfire to my 452 Trainer, I used Leupold low split rings and the small scope mounted right up just behind the rear sight.

My issues with the 452 is the horrible trigger, It took a lot of tweaking to get it where I could use it. It needed all new springs and an overtravel device before it was acceptable.
