Scope for a cz 455

[adancingmonkey]

I'm looking at a Mueller Tactical Rifle Scope, Black, 8.5-25 x 44mm. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience fitting it to a 455 using Leupold high 11mm rings. And how tight the clearance would be.

I think there is a chart over at rimfire central with whom duzz whut with which.
Yer kombo might be posted over there.

I looked there, the combo was not listed. In fact it seemed no one had 8.5-25, people went with the target 8.5-32x44 or 4.5-14x40. The problem is the 8.5-32x44 has a 30mm tube. The 8.5-25x44 only has 1 inch tube. I was hoping to not have to buy new rings.

Have you considered the Mueller Eraticator. It has a one inch tube & meets your power requirements.

search through all of these.

That's what I have set up, but I'm not sure if they're Leupold rings, might even be medium not 100% sure, but the clearance is fine.

Edit: It's on a varmint so no rear sight to worry about, just to be clear.

The Eraticator has a 50mm objective... that won't help...

OP... can't help unless we know which model you have.

44mm should be fine if they are in fact high rings. Option B is mount a rail, and open the door to nearly endless ring height possibilities.

I have the 455 Canadian and the 455 varmint tacticool so I don't have to worry about the clearing sights. I was just worried about the 44mm objective having clearance with the high Leupold rings. I have thought about trying to get my hands on a dip rail.

 

[hoytcanon]

If you don't have a rear sight to worry about, the high rings should be perfect.

Get a set of actual CZ rings... They're the best rings IMHO for a CZ rifle. They seem to center the scope best...

What makes them different are they all steel? Who has them..

Have been using Burris Z-rings for most applications.

 

[hoytcanon]

CZ rings are all steel but IMO there are better options, the fit and finish on the OEM rings are poor...

Well warne rings seem to be very popular. I've been pretty happy with the Leupold rings those. They look good with my vx2 3-9x33 efr. All this looking at scopes make me wonder if I should go with a sightron SII 6-24x42 over the mueller. I've had no experience with either brand and they aren't readily available to get a hands on experience in Winnipeg.

 

[hoytcanon]

I can't speak about Sightron, as I have never owned one, but I have had a couple dozen Mueller's and have been impressed with the quality at that price point... I have never had a problem or failure. I have the 8.5-25X44 on my daughter's .22... and she likes it a lot.

As for rings, I prefer Warne or Leupold over CZ OEM rings, on some I have gone with DIP rails and QD rings. The CZ rings are solid, but are poorly finished and blocky, quite crude, IMO.

Thanks for the pics. Rather helpful.

I used steel talleys on my recent CZ american and am very impressed with them.

I will show some pics later.

Burris Sig Zee rings for me on top of DIP rails. I use Sig Zees on all my rifles. Great rings, easy cant adjustments, and no ring marks on the scope. What's not to like?

Thanks,
Cal.

Dip rails certainly increase function but I feel they detract from the aesthetics of the rifle.
