CZ 527 Varmint - add target sights?

[AlexisCreek]

I have a CZ 527 Varmint in 223, scoped, no sights, heavy barrel. I'd like to remove the scope and instal a proper target aperture sight on the receiver, and a clamp-on globe sight up front. I'm familiar with this setup from my Anschutz and BSA 22 target rifles. Yes I know the CZ won't be a proper Palma rifle, but it's very accurate and so I'd kinda like to try this out. Has anyone done this, or got any suggestions? The rifle has 2 dovetails for scope mounting milled into the receiver bridge, 16mm I believe. I see on line that I can get a Weaver or Picatinny rail adaptor that's made for the rifle (meant for scope mounting), but I don't see any target sights that fit onto that kind of rail. Nor any that are meant for this rifle. (I've checked out Williams and they don't have anything.) Looks like this idea's a non-starter but would appreciate any thoughts others may have. This is the rifle:

You need to find a rear sight from a Brno model 3 or 4, 16mm slides right on, no modifications needed.

With a picatinny rail installed there are a number of Fullbore Target rifle sights that will attach directly to the rail. Alternately you could use a Lipsky adaptor and use a side mount Fullbore sight. https://www.creedmoorsports.com/product/765/shop-by-department.

Many thanks to all who responded. I'm looking around to see if I can find an affordable rear target sight arrangement and clamp-on globe sight for the sight. Looks like the minimum cost will be around $500/$600. If I execute on this I'll post photos.

As nice as the NECG sight is, and I have one for my Ruger #1a and a #1 Tropical, they are not what the OP is referring to. He means a match type rear apeature probably with 1/4 MOA click adjustments, an to use it with a globe type front, most probably with different type inserts, which can be a simple blade, a bead, or front apeature which is extremely accurate if matched with the prober sized round target. With that set up it is probably as good as a scope for someone with good eyes. I learned to shoot one 55 years ago in college while on a ROTC small bore rifle team.


This would be a example of a currently produced match type sight. https://www.creedmoorsports.com/product/2035/small-bore-sights
