Objective Lens Size

[tylerw02]

Scopes done gather light, they transmit. The objective size, along with magnification, leads to exit pupil. Generally, you want as large an exit pupil as you can get, up until the point of the anatomical limits the human eye can perceive.

What matters more about a scope being "bright" is the lens quality and coating.

More important than the quality of the image, is the functionality and durability of a scope. Rarely does one miss a shot because of image quality. I usually consider good knobs and a durable scope that holds zero through abuse better than pretty images. I broke a couple of beautiful Conquests and Leupolds that rendered the gun non-functional. That will ruin your shoot/hunt faster than anything.

just so that you know, you cannot use the Warne rings that are made for Weaver bases. you have to use the ones made for 16mm CZ bases. the Amazon link is to Weaver style ones.

Also, because of the weird bolt handle on the CZ527, you have to have high enough rings to clear the power ring and eye bell of the scope. I am assuming that is why you picked the high Warne ones, but thought that I would mention it.

My 527 came with CZ rings in the box, but not all do apparently.

I love the CZ527. I have been shooting it for 3-4 years now and its light and handy for walking around.

I believe the 527 Americans come with them, but Varmints do not.

How can you tell the link to the Warne Rings will not work on a CZ? I can’t find any info that says they can’t, but I know nothing about base rings. I hear the term “Weaver Rings” tossed about a lot, but I really know nothing yet. This is till quite confusing to me.

I picked the high rings so that the bell of the scope will clear the rear sight.

I do believe all CZ 527's come with scope rings, but I want quick release rings.

It is my understanding that CZ makes a redesigned bolt handle that will work with scopes and is available on their web site. I’ve also heard that the redesigned bolt hands come with new 527's now, but that is unconfirmed.

CZ has an integral dove tail that won't work with weaver.

Does Warne make a quick release ring that does work with the CZ mounts? If so, where does one find them?

[tylerw02]

Are you set on warne for some reason? If so you could maybe find a weaver rail that will attach to the dovetail. I've not personally seen any Warne to fit CZ. Just CZ brand, Leupold, Millett, etc.

I’m new at this, and Warne is the only quick release rings I’m aware of so far. Warne seems to make a nice product, but if there is something comparable out there, I’d certainly like to know. If I can’t find quick release rings for the 527, I may have to pass on this rifle.

Can the CZ ring mounts be removed and replaced with Weaver style mounts?

[tylerw02]

You can find a few adapters to adapt the CZs. You can't take off he CZ dovetail, as its integral to the receiver.

Here's what the first Google hit was for me. Besides Warne, I know Leupold makes QD rings, and ARMS, LaRue, etc.
