Picked up a CZ452 Varmint 22wmr from another Nuter (thanks Steve) and it came with a DIP rail. I need to get rings to mount a Bushnell Elite 6500 2.5-16x42. Anyone have any suggestions on what 30mm rings to look at to get it mounted as low as possible?

All my guns have leupold prw rings. My cz's also have dip rails and prw rings

Burris Signature Zees get my vote. Allow you to easily cant the scope up to +/- 20 MOA, and won't ever leave ring marks. I use them on everything.
Thanks,

That's what I would start with....Not sure about what height to recommend as I don't use a DIP rail (I use j&p) and only have CZs with sporter barrels. If you end up with a slight interference between the bolt and the eye piece or between the objective and the barrel you can use the offset inserts to elevate the scope by another 0.020 +/-.

I have cleared the eye piece on one of my CZs by installing the front offset ring as "-0.010"(lower) and the rear one as "+0.010 (higher). I ended up with about 0.020 of additional clearance between the bolt and the eye piece.

Burris Signature Zee rings here for both my 22's
Thanks, but I'd like to know the size of scope and height of rings. I don't want to have to buy 2 or 3 sets of rings to find something that will work.

I believe they were mediums and weaver t36 plus Mueller 8X32X44's I called Burris tech support for measuring details on rings
Glad you like the rifle! I just bought a 2.5-16x42 Elite Tactical of the EE, should be the same dimensions as the 6500?? I can pop it off my 64MPR and put it on my 452 American and see what the barrel/scope gap is like and that can give you a reference for the heavier barrel. I know on my MPR with a DIP rail and Vortex low 30mm rings, I have a fairly large gap ~5mm.

I picked up a couple of +/- 20 MOA insert kits from 4scopes. Not cheap, but they are out there.
Thanks,
Cal.
Ahh, you beat me to that scope.
I think they are identical other than the turrets.That would be great. I'm hoping to use a mid-range rings (price wise), but keep it mounted as low as possible.

Vortex diamindback and viper 3-9x40 leupold prw medium rings. They are the perfect height for me
You're going to have a very hard time finding 30mm rings that will get the scope low enough, especially if you want something reasonably priced. For some reason no one makes low 30mm rings under $100.
If I were you I'd ditch the rail if you want to be as low as possible... then you'll still have only a few options.

I finally got some Burris Signature Zee 30mm medium rings to mount my Bushnell Elite 2.5-16x42 on the DIP rail. Tried some other rings, but these seem to fit the best and mount the scope as low as I can hope for. The bolt has a couple mm of clearance. I had to slide the mounts and the scope all the way forward to get comfortable eye relief. I'm tall, and could really use a longer lop stock. I'll see how it shoots and maybe look at adding some spacers to the butt.
These without a rail are a good ticket I have 3 sets. http://kinneysshootingsupply.com/co...manent/products/warne-732m-1-high-matte-black

Those are almost impossible to find in Canada, I've been trying to get them as well. As I have 2 CZ, so and an Annie and lots of 30mm scopes. I don't know why it's so hard to find 30mm 11mm dovetail rings in Canada but it is.
Not cheap, but Amazon.ca has them.
