quick question related to the cz858

[Expendable Nate]

ok i did a quick look and i didnt see this question asked. please dont waist time flaming me. would the reciever cover on a 858 be strong enough to tap to mount a rail? i figure it probably isnt a good idea but i wanted to ask. thanks in advance to all with advice.

I think not. Furthermore, it won't hold zero.

Try this instead, which will hold zero:

If you want to play you gotta pay, the cz is not really an optic optimized rifle out of the box at all, plus I love the irons on it. You could also try that side mount stuff not sure how well they work though.

There is a special rail for CZ that installs instead of rear iron site. I have one unused.

Hey Nate. I use the nea handguard they are relatively cheap. Works great for a red dot

 

[Expendable Nate]

I currently have the nea hand guard with a red dot mounted on it and I'm not impressed its just to far forward for my liking I had the same sort of set up on my mini 14 and it was the same thing. The sight picture is just to small for my liking.

As well I'm curious about taking off the front site. Any one know if that difficult ? And l best way to do it

Ok so I'm assuming you mean it's only the two pins ? There's no adhesive of some sort?

Have you looked into a low magnification long eye relief scope forward mounted on your existing handguard.IE. a scout rifle type of set up .

 

[Expendable Nate]

I have experimented with that too it's not my cup of tea either lol I'm picky

 

[mikethebike]

Ok if you want to hold zero without any compromise you need a sidemount, drilled and tapped on the side, nothing at all touching the dust cover or any piece whatsoever that can be removed and moved around during cleaning without a hex key and some considerable wrist strength.
They go for about 100$, and you need a gunsmith to do the work.

I have heard there can be issues with the side mounts on the cz

 

[mikethebike]

Heres mine with the sidemount and an elcan spectredr

I had the M4 stock converter with a built in rail from NEA with a cantilever mount. it seemed to hold zero well for what I needed it for.
