Weaver mounts for a CZ 527

[GrdhgKiller]

I got a new CZ 527 coming that I would like to use the Burris Signature Zee rings. I therefore need to get a weaver style mount to use these rings. I have looked at two styles/brands and wondered if anyone had any experience with these or other weaver mounts for the CZ 527. One mount I looked at is made by D.I.P. and appears to use top mount screws to apply pressure to the top of the dovetail to hold it in place. This mount costs about $40 http://www.diproductsinc.com/Detail....12045&CAT=3600
The other mount is listed at CZ/USA and cost $60 it appears to use side screws to hold it in place and appears to be more substantial. It also has no cut out above the loading area and has more slots available.

Doesn't Burris sell a Sig ring set that fits the 527? Seems you'll be paying as much for an adapter to mount the Sig Zee rings as the rings themselves.

I researched and tested a few of the weaver base conversions for the CZ 527. I really wasn't impressed with any of the designs currently on the market. We were thinking about producing a weaver base conversion of our own and after doing some investigating i put the idea aside for the time being.
Personally i like Burris Signature zee rings and have them on many of my rifles. There isn't currently a set offered for the CZ, however a good second choice is the Leupold rings.

Did you test either of the ones I posted links. If other ones which ones and what in particular did you not like about them. My main concerns were that they had a positive connection to the CZ dovetail mount and that they were not too bulky looking. Bill

I have a pair of the CZ mounts and have one mounted on a 221Fireball. But have not shot it yet. It does seem substantially made. Attaches easily and firmly to the CZ mounts. i don't know how the ejection of a cartridge will be effected by the additional metal above the ejection port-have to check that when I shoot it!

Look at the Warne rings. I have a set on a 527 that are the Quick Detach style & am very pleased with them. The non Quick Detach are almost identical & both make a compact streamlined set up that offer a solid mounting system. Weaver type bases are usually made of soft aluminum & usually don't correspond to the best accuracy. Combine that with the silly lock screw thing and it gets even worse. If you get the modified bolt handle from James Calhoon you can use a lower set of rings as the bolt handle will clear the scope bell better.

Talley makes a nice set, I have them on most of mine and Talley set theirs up with proper scope height/eye alignment meaning they are lower look nicer and a better fit (for me) but you do need to do the bolt mod thingy which isn't no biggy

My main goal was to be able to use the Burris Signature Zee 'Weaver' style rings. I like their flexible adjustment features and non marring scope feature. The factory CZ rings have always worked for me but I like use the Burris Signatures on all rifles I can. Just needed some input on any CZ 527 weaver style bases out there. Bill

I didn't test either of the options you listed. I tested a set with a design similar to the first option that you listed. The problem with that set was that in order to get it even close to working you had to tighten the set screws so tight that it left marks on the CZ receiver. Not to mention that the tolerances were way off on the machining and getting the adapters anywhere near a consistant height was a joke. The second problem is that they raise the height of scope to much, even with a shorter set of rings its not comfortable to look thru the scope. The idea behind the Weaver adapters is great, however the end product quality isn't even close to what i would consider putting on one of my CZ's. In order to get close to the accuracy potential of the rifle i would stick with the factory rings or the Leupold's. I have been slowly switching my factory CZ rings over to the Leupold rings, they look nicer and offer a better fit and finish in my opinion.
