CZ 452: Dovetail to Picatinny base and rings???

[pazzo]

Does anybody know who sells these in Canada?
Here's a link to basically what I am looking for: http://ww w.diproductsinc.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=112046&CAT=3600
Also,
I need rings for my Zeiss scope (1") to be used on the above rail on my CZ 452 Varmint .22lr, and am unsure which ones to get. I would preferably like to get aluminum so I can keep the weight low.

Any ideas on both are much appreciated.

Thanks!

Not sure about that mount. I looked at similar ones and decided to go in another direction based on what "locks" them down.
I went with this
egw-guns.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=39_142&products_id=487
Much more solid, although somewhat ugly. The dovetail on the cz is so short, I like that this rail extends forward some, providing for more options and better ring spacing.
Just another option for you to consider. I ordered it directly from them.

Link not working?
Either way I didn't see it on their website.

For some reason "products" in the link has a space in it. I can't fix it for some reason. You have to copy and paste it then remove that space I guess.

Try BKL Technologies. They have what you want and ship north of the border.

Thanks jperos.

I'm going to call Richard Near tomorrow and see if he can custom build me a base. As for the rings, I'm thinking that the Leupold Mk 4 aluminum rings may work but I also think they may be a bit too big for my setup.

If you can get ahold of Near, your a better man than I.

Lol. We'll give a try. If I can't get in touch with him, I'll drive over to Dlask and get Josef to do it.

Try EGW. They make a nice base which works with the 3/8" and the 11mm dove tails on the CZs. They also come with a 0 moa or 20 moa. The only problems is that they are pricey.

I've decided to stick to the factory weaver setup. I don't think there is any advantage in going with a picatinny setup, except for gaining extra and unnecessary height and weight. My setup now is super clean and light.

I did it because:
1. I question the strength of a dovetail ring setup, especially with a large scope.
2. The dovetail ring selection is terrible
3. The cz american's have an odd size dovetail and 90% of rings offset the scope to the receiver.

I didn't do it because:

1. CZ knows their stuff. The factory dovetail is plenty strong for my application regardless of the scope size. How often have you read about people's dovetail setup breaking?
2. I am using Leupold high rings which seem to be much better quality than 90% of the other rimfire rings out there, imo.
3. My rifle is a 452 Varmint - it has an 11mm dovetail (the American has a ³⁄₈" dovetail)

I'm not so much worried about them breaking as much as I am losing POI from bumps and such
My favorite dovetail rings are BSA believe it or not. I'm not overly impressed by the leupolds.
The american claims to have a 3/8" dovetail. It is not however. I bet there are hundreds of cz owners out there who don't pay enough attention to notice that their scope is not centered on the receiver.

That you are right.
