Good rings but horrible screws!

CZ-USA Scope Rings Ckk 602 and Cz 550 19003
I have two sets of these rings and even with a carefully used torque and a good set of gunsmithing screwdriver bits about 1\4 of the screws split in half. The rest of them are incredibly soft. They still use the standard slot for the screw head rather than the more durable torque type found on other scopes. Fishing the screw out of the hole without scratching the rings with one half of the screw head gone is a tedious process. If you must buy CZ rings (rather than Talley) plan on replacing the screws before installation. Then set the tightness very light on the screws, and lap the rings before you put the scope on the weapon.
Perfect match for my rifle.

Leupold VX-3i 4.5-14x50mm Rifle Scope
I ordered this scope for a CZ 527 Varmint .223 with CZ high rings. It is the perfect scope for this rifle and caliber. It clears the heavier barrel by about 1/4 inch and is the perfect height for target acquisition and scope picture. I have the CDS feature on several other Leupold scopes and it's now the only way I'd attempt to shoot a long range shot at game. It's simple. Range it. Dial it. Shoot it. I'm a Leupold and an Optics Planet fan!

Much better than the first model!
Written on Jul 24, 2018
This new Lead Sled solved a problem I experienced with the previous model. I found the elevation adjustment somewhat difficult to adjust in the earlier version - but not so with this one. It's also more stable w/o as much weight added to the base. I use the lead shot bags I once used as ballast in my SCUBA vest. Only a few are required and the thing is solid as a rock. I recommend it highly.

Ruger Mini-14 Picatinny Scope Mount
Written on Jun 22, 2018
This mount is well-made, fits perfectly, and allowed me to use a low scope rings while still avoiding the ejection port of the rifle. My Mini 14 is a 6.8 SPC made in 2009 (or thereabouts) and has no problem with the ejected rounds colliding with the scope cap - as some reviews of the earlier Mini 14s may report.
The GG&C workmanship looks great, the finish is excellent, and I'd recommend the mount for anybody needing a Picatinny Mount of a Mini 14/Mini 30 Ruger Ranch Rifle.

Best Cleaning System Available

Hoppe's 9 Rifle Cleaning Boresnake Den Rope
Boresnakes are perfect for cleaning weapons when more elaborate equipment is inappropriate - like on extended hunting trips in remote locations. They are compact, easy to use, and do a good job. I have one for every caliber and bore in the safe, including handguns and shotguns. I use those very small, durable plastic food containers so I can place them all in a plastic storage box with solvents and wipe rags. I use a marker on each lid and the system is easy to move and store.
Good solid set of rings.

I've got four CZ rifles, two with Warne rings and two with CZ rings. Since CZ rifles don't use bases, and are dovetailed to directly accept the rings, a good solid connection required well-designed rings. Both the Warne and the CZ rings are in fact incredibly solid and do not move even slightly - due to the heavy steel construction, the accurate machine work, and the design of the mount itself. The Warne rings might be a little more difficult to mount, but their shape is more stylish. Both offer about the same good quality of the finish. The Warne rings are more affordable, but not so much to make an incredible difference. I prefer the screws on the Warne. So in summary - both are great rings and easy to recommend. I suppose I'd give the nod to the Warne rings based on the value.

Nikon S-Series Rings are First Rate

Review for
Nikon S-Series Rifle Scope Rings
I placed these rings on a Thompson Icon and they lock-down rock solid. Like all 2-piece split rings they require a little more expertise in attaching them since the scope doesn't sit on the bottom half - but the design has been proven stronger and offers a clean, finished appearance. I highly recommend these Nikon S-Series rings.

Solid CZ rings
Written on Feb 17, 2018
Great rings - not as easy to attach as styles where you can firmly attach the rings to the gun and then place the scope on top. But the two piece rings are stronger and tighten well. I'd strongly recommend a calibrated torque wrench for installing any scope. The rings fit perfectly in the grooves of the CZ550 and feel rock solid. I like them well enough to have purchased another set for another CZ rifle. Highly recommend.
Good mounts - but packaging can be confusing

Burris Airgun / Rimfire Signature 1 inch Rifle Scope Mount Rings for .22 grooved receivers
I put these mounts on a Remington Speedmaster .22 w/grooved mounts built-in to the weapon along the top of the action. The scope is a 2-7x28 Leupold Rimfire 1 inch. The cut grooves in the gun are thin and I needed a set of rings with relatively sharp bases for grabbing the grooves. These rings are adjustable to a variety of widths but the width set in the package was good for my use. The plastic inserts allowed for the scope to be mounted without lapping. I don't believe this system will mark the scope like the typical metal to metal system. The mount feels firm and the dozen rounds I've fired do not appear to have moved the rings. This looks like a good choice for a rimfire scope.

Great choice for rimfire weapons.
Written on Dec 19, 2017
This scope was put on a Remington Speedmaster and the choice was perfect. It's light enough and trim enough to not encumber the weapon. The 7 power is plenty for the distances I use a .22 and the 2 power is great for fast shooting. It's a Leopold so it's clear and sharp. I'd recommend it highly.
