DF,
Is that an American or a Lux? It's an American, the Prestige, which has upgraded wood and a really nice, highly polished finish. It did have the older style bolt handle and I replaced it with the current CZ handle. The replacement handle has the std. blue finish, the difference not that noticeable. It was a Hornet, now a K Hornet. http://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/11407757/1DF ![[Linked Image]](http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f35/rush2830/c32a484c-d6b0-4d99-b4ec-17b0e0bceea0.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f35/rush2830/019_1.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f35/rush2830/011_3.jpg)

Very nice. I'm left-handed so none of that Hornet or Prestige ubernity for me, either .223 or .204 only. It could be a lot worse.

Can a competent gunsmith bend the bolt? I have a 550 American with a 3-9x40 Conquest mounted in Warne medium rings. There is just barely enough clearance. I went to mount a MeoPro 3.5-10x44 on it and the bolt was hitting the ocular. I purchased high rings but can't bring myself to do it because it will affect my cheek weld somewhat. No. It has to be ground down, polished and reblued. A CZ American handle is around $30 or so, cheaper than doing all that unless you do your own work. Changing out the handles takes just a few seconds. http://www.diproductsinc.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=1133585DF I once sat next to the singer Meat Loaf on a flight from Dallas to Austin. I didn't know whether to address him as Meat or Mr. Loaf. Should I address you as Dirt of Mr. Farmer? Anyhoo, the link you posted is for a 527. Are you saying it will fit a 550? What did you and Meat Loaf finally decide? To me, I don't care what I'm called, as long as I'm called when it's time to eat...  The 527 is 16mm, the 550 is 19mm. DF

We talked about the difference between Redbones and Cajuns. Ma Diddy is a Redbone by way of Port Arthur. My Mothers family were west Texas horse thieves according to her mother. Family get togethers were nothing if not entertaining. The only thing the two families had in common was that they were both Campbellites.

Mine was purchased April-May this year. I swapped the issue very tall rings for Warne mediums ( I think). Anyway the USA Burris 3-9 is comfortable.
Best,

Are there any gloss finish rings available?
I settled on a set of CZ's for mine. Ticked me off that I had to pay for them, as the gun shop absconded with the rings that came with the rifle.
They just dont look right with the Ultra light 2-7 Leupold.
I am MAGA.

I abhor the integral CZ bases...but love the rifle. The best solution I could come up with was a DIP extended Picatinny rail with Burris Zee Lows..works great.

I dont believe they are as low as the Weavers..but they arent bad. I would have to go measure them to be sure.

My brief search revealed only Med and High Zee rings.
Check my earlier posts. The low Weavers with DIP rail is the lowest 527 mount I couid come up with. The other rings are a bit high for me, cheek weld just not as good as this set up.

Tikka factory rings on my CZ 527 All I did was knock out the pin that's on tikka rings. Love the low look compared to factory high CZ rings. ![[Linked Image]](http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss46/Andrepdx/B817493B-F31A-41E6-B88E-9AA892F0C2DC_zpsdwp5z69a.jpg) Side by side ![[Linked Image]](http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss46/Andrepdx/7F4EC576-C19D-404D-9E9A-7B884A296B7E_zpsanbeujtm.jpg)

All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

Parker Hale rings will get you as low as possible to the point a 40mm scope won't fit. You will need to grind that bolt

LEUPOLD has been my preference.
For those who do not care for the higher mounts you deserve to try a 527 in a Boyds Thumbhole stock. Ill have to get a photo up some time of the 6.5 Grendel I put together in the last year. A photo will not do adequate justice. You really need to try it for yourself.
