    Scope suggestions for CZ-452 trainer please

    I am thinking of mounting some glass on my 452 because I want to try something new, and I feel like I can only get so much of out iron sights.

    From my own observations it seems that the iron sights are better for field use than they are for target shooting. This is my novice opinion anyway.

    I do know that the CZ needs some 11mm mounts. Since I've never bought a scope, do these mounts also come with the rings or how does that work? And the base part, do you simply slide that in into the dovetail? Also, is there such thing as a mount that would still allow use of the iron sights?

    Someone also said that there is a brand called Warne that makes both a 3/8 and 11mm mount. Are these good and cost effective?

    For scopes, how do I know if fixed or variable is right for me? My only uses for this rifle so far are for target shooting (and as a way to learn the fine art of precision shooting).

    Someone told me to look at these Leupold rimfire scopes:


    Are these good, or is there something better for the money? (I don't necessarily want to cheap out, buy once cry once and all that).


    Thanks for you help, guys.

    PS--when shooting prone, do I want to get as low to the ground as possible? I noticed that I'm usually 12"-14" high when I shoot supported prone, but then I realizes that most bipods are between 6"-9" tall--so now I'm wondering about that.

    I'd think a 3x9 would be a good choice. Try and get a scope with at least 2 1/2 to 3" eye relief and something that gathers a lot of light. I currrently use a Schmidt and Bender 4x scope on my CZ452 Varmint with sheap NC star 11mm scope rings. With it I can shoot through the same whole at 25 yards all day long with Walmart bought Federal Auto Match ammo 333 or Federal 555 bulk pack. Also Pilar/Bedding and a YoDave trigger kit will improve your rifles accuray by a wide margin.

      I use a Leupold 3x9x33 efr rimfire scope on my 452.

      Bit pricey but a great scope.

        Use the J&P adaptors ( J&P Custom Products, LLC ) with Burris Sig. Z rings. No direct link, sorry.

          I looked at that scope and it seems great. I agree that it is a bit pricey, but it does look like it will be all I ever need for this rifle if I were to get it.

          The only thing I know about scopes is that you really get what you pay for.

          I'll have to think about buying that specific tube (or see how much more money I can earn). But it does look like it's worth it.

                          Hmm, I keep thinking about saving more and "going big" with that Leupold.
                          Maybe I'm wrong, but it looks like I will still be able to get great use out of that scope as my skills increase, since the parallax is adjustable and all that.

                            Everything the Leupold does the Clearidge does the same at a cheaper price
                            I looked into both and chose the Clearidge

                            When I was hunting scopes for my CZ455, I narrowed it down to Weaver RV9, Clearidge and the Leupold
                            those are in the order of price also

                              Another "candidate" I keep hearing about is the Nikon ProStaff.


                              Got anything to say about that one?
