They are Brno and came with the rifle; I'm pretty sure that WSS, Russells, P&D etc... sell them.
I got the B-Square jig from Brownells, in case I didn't already mention that.
Now I only need to glass-bed the action.
Demonical,
Every Brno or aftermarket ring I've seen for the 602 and 550 has a "leg" that fits down into the cut-out on the left side of the action. What stops these rings from sliding forward, besides friction? Just curious.

Mike, those are Lynx rings. I have an identical set for my ZG47 except mine have the lug to lock them in place on the reciever. They seem pretty good for the money. On their website they list some with levers fo QD too.
Mediums hieghts are .470" from flat of reciever to bottom of scope tube
Highs are .669".
Noel
I would say the lug may have been ground off. On my rings, the lug is on the same side as the tightening nut. Perhaps someone wanted the nut on the charging side of the reciever for whatever reason and removed it.
Personally I think they would slide but cannot say for sure. I know my Brnos recoil hard enough to need the lug for sure.
Hope this helps.
WSS lists the lynx rings in their catolog but I don't remember which models they have for CZ.

I didn't think they were Brnos, or at least the right ones for that rifle. Brno/CZ must know how to make rings to fit their own integral bases. Still, I wonder what stops these rings from sliding?
I am darn sure they are Brno rings but I will hafta' double check.
As far as what keeps 'em from moving well it's nothing but proper tightening of the screws. I do not think they have budged since I put the scope on.
FWIW my load with the 400gr Hornady IL is a modest 2350fps MV. Adequate to shoot anything on this planet! The bull moose I shot last fall was at 200 yards or just over and I had no problem making those shots (hit him twice).
400gr bullets in the .416 Rem can be loaded to 2500 fps MV but it's not necessary IMHO.
Demonical,
These are Warne QDs for a 602/550 but I've had CZ, Leupold and 2 kinds of Warnes. They all have a lug for the cut-out. If those are Brno rings they are for a different model, or you possibly have 2 front rings. Off-hand I can't think of any mounting system except for .22 tip-offs that don't have some sort of mechanical lock for and aft.

Mr. Dogleg, I am quite an ignorant man. I was not even aware there was such a thing as a cut-out for scope rings to recess into...
Funny thing, but until you brought it up I didn't even know my rifle had 'em, but there they are, clear as daylight...
Well I guess I gots to take a look at my rifle and rings. I still believe they are Brno rings...
Humbly, Demonical.
Edit: Oh yeah, and as stupid as this might sound, I don't intend to change the set-up.

I have some rings for sale in the optics and sights EE that would work very good for you

Dogleg, the way the rifle fits me, the eye relief is perfect, with the scope set as far back as I an get it, as the pic shows.
So when I say I will not change it, that's what I'm thinking.
But the truth is, now that I know the mount is wrong it is going to bug me and I will have to check into this further... if those do turn out to be Lynx Rings then I suppose that would also chap my ass...
When I admitted I didn't even know that recess was there, you musta got a chuckle over that one, eh!?

Those are Lynx rings. Here is a pic, they look the same to me.
I am almost 100% sure they are not CZ rings......

Nobody can prove that!
You can change the rings without moving the scope at all. The new rear ring will just sit a little farther ahead to mate with the recess, and the front ring doesn't have one.
I like the way your cross-bolts turned out. My CZs already had one through the wrist so I just went with one additional at the recoil lug. I may go with a third one behind the magazine as well, but haven't quite decided. It would add a little more "all business" look.

I tends to agree there Davey! I have the 2006-07 Brownell's catalogue and it's also got some pretty decent pics of the Lynx rings and that is what I've got.
Dogleg said:
Yes I am already considering that!
Dogleg said:
I saw a fancy-ass custom rifle over on Accurate Reloading forums that has the third crossbolt, at the wrist, and I gotta say I do not like the look. Gimme the classic look of 2 crossbolts.
But since your rifle doesn't have the crossbolt at the back of the magazine then I think you might as well add it.
You're doing it yourself, eh?
Demonical,
Do you mean Will Stewart's, or one of the other's? There's some decent stuff on that forum, plus a wild amount of money. The owner owns Emirate Air.
I would rather have 2 bolts in the same position as yours, but since the first was factory installed that decision wasn't mine to make. If I had a fresh start that's what I'd do. I'll likely punch them in myself, but not before I get back from Zimbabwe. Too late in the game for any changes.

mauser 98-thanks so much for posting that pictoral on crossbolt installation-I've been told how to do it-and obviously to someone who has done it,its a simple enough job-but a picture is worth a thousand words.I bought a very nice Husqvarna 9.3x57 from Tradex in excellent shape,refinished the stock,ground the bolt to accomodate a scope,but was still concerned over the effect of recoil on the old stock,was advised to install a couple of crossbolts-but was still unsure of the position.The picture clears all that up-thanks.

Yup, those are identical to what I have, same as Demo's but with the lug.
You can check to see if they say Australia on them, then you will know for sure.
I'm not just another pretty face ya know!
CZ rings look like this:
