What scope for the VZ58?

[CanadianBaconPancakes]

Opinions with the original CSA mount. I have no love for reflex or red dot sights and the one in the pic is farrrr to big with not enough eye relief ... An under 300$

I've gotten 300y out of my cz 527. It isnt any MOA or anything but on a 12"x12" piece of paper I can pretty much get a good 6" group.

What is the eye relief like for ya on the cz!?!?!?

Look pretty big on it... JP.

lol.... let just say...not much, about 1 inch with a face to stock as normal. Actually, abit less, not sure if its usable anymore lol. im going to recycle the thread.

Cheek weld with that butt stock will be an issue regardless of what optic you use....

what sights you using?

1-4x20mm.

1-4x20mm.

That looks like the bushnell AR scope?

Its a Leupold Mark AR 1-4x20mm illuminated reticle. Very nice scope.

Sorry, with a green dot not illuminated retical.

Any issues with casings impacting it while firing?

I tried that combo before and I had issues with cases sometimes striking the front of my scope.

I'd be surprised if there weren't more jams with that setup. I had a scope hang halfway over and had constant rounds bouncing back into my breech. Drove me up a wall until I got another (and shorter) scope.

I personally prefer the POSPs/ POs .... ejecting brass could still pose an issue for those scopes too.
The stock VZ buttstock doesnt offer a great cheek weld for those scopes either... a different stock or a strap/bolt on cheek weld device like what the M1a guys use does solve the problem.

That's one slick set up! How's the Russian scopes working out for you?

Great! , I own 3 of them now.. all 3 of them are interchangeable between the 3 side mount equipped red rifles i own.

I plan on buying a PKA style sight this winter or spring. (especially if the CAD dollar gets better :/ )

 

[Mumbles Marble Mouth]

I had the scope mounted far back enough where it wasn't a problem with cases hitting it. That photo was when I first mounted the scope and where it is in that photo was a problem but never had a casing go back into the breech. After my first range trip with that set up, I pushed the scope a bit further back and I never had a problem.

So far no luck trying my full size scopes with my mount set up. I would have prefered to stay away from the reflex/red dots. I can get pasted 100 yards with them at all. I need magnification!

Will thos mounts fit on the regular side rail then?

 

[warrenlikesboats]

no, unfortunately not. And those scopes blow your $300 dollar budget out of the water. I think your best solution would be figuring out a way to bolt a tin shell deflector to your side rail mount.... attaching some sort of cheek weld device to your stock, OR buy a CZ 958 when they come to market. OR buy a Magwedge rail mount for the VZ 58 .
