Anyone had experience fitting Tikka Optilock rings on a Brno 16mm dovetail? I am a fan of the polymer inserts which protect the scope tube. Before I buy a set to try any feedback appreciated.
 
I have a set of rings which were sold for use on a Tikka (not Optilocks), but they are currently holding a scope on my CZ527 and they work well. The dovetail seemed to be the same size, so I thought I'd try them...no problems so far. However, the recoil stop-pin that was intended to project down into the recess on the Tikka rail would not function with the CZ half-slot, so I simply screwed it up into the base of the ring until it was flush. My CZ is a .223, so recoil is not a concern for me...on chamberings that develop more recoil this might become an issue. Do Optilocks have a similar pin? And if so, can you remove or defeat it if required?
 
Hi, thanks for the reply. In the end I bought a pair of optilock parallel bases for the tikka and tried them. They fit perfectly but as you say I will have to get rid of the recoil pin. I think it will punch out. Andrew
