Factory rings that come with these guns are way too high. It is my understanding that this is because the earlier guns did not have a sculpted bolt handle and the height was necessary. I searched for a lower mount for my CZ 527 (17 Hornet) and finally put Talleys on, but they are only minimally lower than the factory rings. A european manufacture base and ring set was advertised as 3/8", but was closer to 1/2". (Right with the Talleys). CZ Factory is .550.
Buddy just acquired a 550 in 6.5x55 and is in the same boat.
What's the lowest arrangement available for these guns? (conventional 1" tube, no oversize objectives.).
Thanks.
