What scope rings for a CZ452 and 4-12x40 scope? <- different scope
« on: April 06, 2010, 09:04:02 AM »
I have a CZ 452 American (LH) on order (IT CAME HOME WITH ME TODAY!) and will mount a Leupold FX-I 4x28 rimfire VX-1 4-12x40 scope on it.  I want it mounted as low as possible without interfering with the bolt. Seems to be a limited offering in scope rings.

What rings/height have you tried? What works and doesn't work? What just looks good?

Not strictly apples to oranges, but my 452 American has a 40mm scope on it and the bolt would not clear the ocular bell with Burris Z medium rings.  I had to go to high rings of the same style to make it work.  I've a number of other rifles  with 40mm scopes (although none are rimfire)and am usually abe to go with medium rings using both the Redfield and Weaver base types and Redfield, Weaver, Leupold and Burris ring.  The Weaver-style Burris Z rings are my favorite for looks.  I've never had a problem with any of them (all brands & styles), which tells me there are a lot of perfectly good choices among them - pick your favorite.

But back to your question, my impression is that the 452 needs a slightly higher ring than average, all else equal, but I'm guessing you can make a low ring work (or at at east a low Burris Z) with a 28 mm scope.

Let us know.  Thanks.  -WSJ

You can always go with CZ rings ordered through CZ USA or there are BKL 257 rings which are more then high enough.  I have the BKL's on my 453 Varmint 17 HMR with a 4.5-14 VX-3.  http://www.bkltech.com

 I mounted a scope with a 40 mm objective lens using the medium Burris Signature Zee rings. The polymer inserts gave the rings the extra height needed to clear the bolt, yet the scope is mounted perfectly for good eye alignment.
