What is the preferred method ?

CZ scope rail with low rings or just a set of rimfire rings ?

Either way works. The choice is yours.

On a .22LR well-fitting dovetail rings are more than adequate. Amost all European-made .22 rifles will have dovetail grooves. But many like the familiarity of Weaver/Picatinny-style rings and bases. If you are shooting at distances over 100 yards, you will need to use a canted rail to provide more elevation.

I've used the Warne 721 rings and liked them. Some don't like the way they go on the scope, but that's a personal preference thing.

I have a 455 Lux and OEM 0* rail with Vortex-Pro Low rings. It still gives me plenty of bolt handle clearance, but if just on dovetails you might need the Med height.

I have 9 455’s and three 457’s, all use just rings, no rail. It’s up to you.

Also as far as I'm concerned, don't get too caught up with scope height . The main thing to worry about with scope height is that clears and it's at a comfortable height.

I have a CZ 452-2E ZKM American .22lr.

I use the dovetail rings with the Nikon Prostaff Rimfire 3-9x40mm scope.
