I have a CZ457 Canadian I enjoy shooting. Presently it wears a vortex Diamond Back HP 4-16 SFP 1” main tube scope. I enjoy this rifle immensely and love its feel and operation and slender clean lines. BUT the scope is mounted just about at the upper limit in height with the High 1” leupold rings.

I have a DiamondBack Tactical (also 4-16x44 FFP 30mm main tube) id love to mount on this rifle to try using it at my next orps match I go to. So I need new rings. And having issues finding 30mm rings for the CZ 11mm rail. I feel adding a weaver rail and rings may add too much height and additionally clutter the clean slender lines of this beautiful rifle.

So what options do I have available for scope rings that will mount this scope low as I can on this rifle that are also available in Canada?

Presently this scopes mounted on my Savage A22 where it performs great, But I intend to mount a red dot on this rifle for my daughter to use it (she has difficulty with the reticle of the DB tactical).

I really like Sportsmatch 11mm rings, sold at D&L Airgun and Airgunsource but they seem to sell out quickly. Check the Sportsmatch website to find the right height.
 
My local gun store (now gone) was a CZ dealer. They would order me CZ 11mm dovetail rings direct from CZUB.
If you can find a gun store which is a CZ dealer, you could ask them if they can place an order for you.

On the CZ store website, this is the link to their 11mm CZ 30mm rings:

Unfortunately the CZ website does not list the height of these rings, but you could ask.
My older model CZ 30mm rings on my CZ 452 Lux 11mm rail did allow clearance no problem for my Sightron 45 x 45 scope.

I get the feeling that rimfire 11mm dovetail rings were never made (height-wise) for the newer big tactical scopes with 50 or 56 mm objectives? For those bigger scopes you may be needing a pic rail and pic rings for the added height.

On both my CZ 452 and 455 (both Lux's) with a variety of scopes, I have to use a cheek riser pad for a good view through the scope with a solid cheek weld. There are many cheek riser pads on the market that attach with velcro straps or webbing straps on velcro, no drilling or marring of the beautiful wood finish. My favourite is the Allen Company "Deluxe Buttstock Shell Holder & Accessory Pouch". It can be shimmed with your own pieces of foam spacers underneath for extra height if needed. link:

Good luck with your search.

IIRC Alberta Tactical made a run of picatinny rails for the Brno/CZ 22 rifles which would allow you to employ any picatinny rings you wanted.
 
Warne makes 11mm dovetail rings but you’d be better suited putting a 30moa Canted Rail by Area 419 or MDT on the receiver and use normal picatinny rings to mount the scope.
