Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires Prefferred optics for a squirrel rifle

Agreed....why they haven't addressed that issue is beyond me.

You'd think that inletting the stock a little more and reconfiguring the handle wouldn't be that big of a deal.

The scope mounting issue on my Lux is twofold - the comb is appropriately low for the sights, which is great. But since the bolt handle doesn't clear many (almost no) ocular bells when mounted low you are forced to give up your cheek weld to run glass. Or add a leather cheek riser, etc.
The presence of the rear sight is another issue, but I'm glad to have them.

For the record if I were looking for a CZ sporter/hunter, etc. to mount a good scope on I would buy the American. And I probably will not too far down the road.

Agreed but even the American model needs the bolt handle modified.

The only reason to even have the dove-tail rail on any of the drop comb models would be to mount one of these which would be the first thing I'd do.

Might be an option for me if I can't lower my scope a bit. But I still want glass and irons if I can do it.
I know the test targets don't mean much, but here is the one from my rifle. I'm impressed, and it was shot with the sights on the rifle



I have the think that the low flyer was the first shot from a cold, raw barrel.

Kragman1,

Here's a European rimfire with the same optics as your European rimfire.

I'm not too savvy on all the top shelf rifles out there but I'm guessing Walther or Kleinguenther?

Looks a lot like a K201 that I once had and foolishly let slip away.

Its a Mauser 201. It looks just like my Kleingunther. Hard to tell them apart.

Crap. Now.I "need" one of.those too....

.......................

OK K22 - I just swapped.out.the medium rings that were a little too high for me with lows.
I have juuust enough clearance for the bolt handle, and the scope is aligned with my eye even with the low stock comb.

If anyone is interested that's an old Burris 6X with Millett angle-loc low smooth .22 rings P/N TP00001







Its tough to see in the pics but when I hold the bolt open to its max there is so little clearance that its hard to tell if I am barely missing or barely rubbing the ocular bell. But it works, and I will be careful just in case.

FWIW, this particular model is VERY limited when it comes to mounting glass. Buyer beware.

Now your talking. Lucky the eye piece is small or you wouldn't clear. Maybe a set of these mounts....CZ rimfire mounts with low Weaver style rings would work better for you.

The scope looks great on there.

Its the only scope I own that's appropriate for this rifle. Now I need to replace it with something on my Rem 582.

Good luck finding something. The best I could find that works for me is the custom shop Leupold 6x36 setup by my specs.

You guys have better eye sight than me. I like the leupold 4x12 and the 6x18. The Nikon bushmaster 6x18 ain't to bad either. Hasbeen

Honestly, my eyesight needs all the help it can get. And if.I were setting a 22 up for.general use it like a 4-12.

My eye's aren't that great anymore, but the Burris 6X AO mini and the Leupold 6X36 just seem very bright to me.

Well, the old medium rings from the 455 worked out fine on the 582, so its now wearing a Weaver Classic 6-24
Kinda makes me look like a magnification hypocrite though. Somehow I'll manage to bear it...

A Hubblescope??

Actually, I think its fine



Maybe if I just keep it on 6X....
