What are the lightest-weight scope rings for the 19mm dovetails on the BRNO ZKK series and the CZ 550 series, etc?

Theyre all steel that I’ve ever seen or used. Do what Darcy Echols did/does and machine the dovetails off, then put whatever you want

No interest in (making or owning) "custom" rifles. I like original factory products. I know at one time a lot of Brno ZKK owners used Parker-Hale aluminum rings, that can still be found, but they have no provision for a recoil stop unless you drill a vertical hole in the receiver.

Yes … Kesselrings (USA) made scope rings from aluminum … very light and was one of few sources I could find years ago to fit a ZKK … unfortunately when I finally received a set (IIRC 26mm) - I was not impressed with the quality. I think I still have them somewhere. They werent exactly a ‘smooth’ fit on the dovetails.

I used to regularly go to Kesselrings in the 80s...they have had some trouble since then. (https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/skagit-county-gun-shop-may-have-been-worst-in-us/)

After reading - and rereading - that link all I can say is that the Kesselring brothers are damned lucky they didnt operate in Ontario … or the Metro Toronto Police would have shot them all to death like Rodger Kotenko FFS!!!!

Maybe the Crown should review how other jurisdictions approach ‘potentially’ similar matters!

Sadly a couple of my BRNOs someone has done just that, and rather poorly.

Doesnt have to a vertical "hole", it only has to be about 1.5-2mm deep to the centre. Very easy to achieve in a home workshop with with a drill press and a little bit of care.

Ruins the gun, had a few auction surprises with zg47 rifles. Paker hale “divots” aren’t recknagle mounts.
