Is there anyone out there who has found quick release or seethru rings for a 550? My CZ rings fit my new Leupold scope just fine but I can't access my iron sights easily. It would be nice to have a choice of either sighting system in the field.
Thanks,
Chris Yotz

Leupold does a std mount,just ordered a pair.
See Throughs tend to be cheap, and way too high. Not my choice at all.

Warnes are a good choice too. I have a set of theirs on a Kimber M82 and an old pre 64 M70, nice stuff.
The detachables like the Talleys really are neat. I have a set on a .375 H&H M70 with a 1.5-5X Leupold in one set and a 2.5-8X Leupold in the other. I mount whatever scope is best suited for my needs and keep the other as a "spare". Both are sighted in for the gun so I can switch between the two and still be sighted in for any practical range I'd shoot at. Plus if I choose to use the iron's I just twist the levers and detach the scope.
I bought my CZ as I liked how the irons ARE truly useable. So a set of Talleys are probably in it's future.

I called CZ USA and "Mike" told me that they don't have and don't plan to have any see thru's or detachable rings. Can we order stuff directly from CZUB?

Do the detachable rings REALLY return to zero or do they just get close? I was debating whether it was worth trying these but decided that if it was really just hype and they didn't accually return to zero I could always put my CZ rings back on and sell the Warne rings.

The Talley & the Warnes rings return to zero pretty well, as for ordering direct from CZ-UB(lost cause), quantities which were talking about does'nt even tickle them, I've placed an order thru my distr.(in Canada) for quite a while, since he's ordering a whole bunch of other stuff, it makes it worthwhile for CZ-UB. I'll keep you posted as for availability & pricing as soon as I get the rings
All the best,
John

I'll be re-communicating with earlier interested people who e-mailed me in the past. Priority will be given to them first but if these people don't recommunicate they'll be available for the rest of the CZ Forum community

Thanks for offering these on the forum. I will email you if these quick release mounts don't work out to see if any are left.

The Talley/Warne setup on the CZ's are a bit different than the M70 . You mount the rings on the M70's on a set of VERY precision machined bases. Once everything is secure the scope WILL return to zero. I use 50 and 100 yds groups as my basis for comparison.
Now the CZ system will I BELIEVE just use the integral bases. So IF the bases are both machined properly and the rings mate up well they SHOULD return to zero quite well. For "normal" hunting ranges you should return close enough to ZERO to be fine. Then again they may work as well as they do when mounted on the Talley bases too.
