I doubt that that scope will fit.
I've not mounted one to a CZ, but my younger brother has a Burris 2x-7x Fullfield II mounted on a Marlin M1895. It is a short scope. Burris had the Fullfields advertised as ideally suited to the ShortMag rifles.
My older brother mounted a Nikon 2x-7x ProHunter "Shotgun" scope on a long action Remington M700. It required an extended ring on the front to mount and get proper eye relief. I've got one too, but it's mounted on a CZ-452 .22lr with Millet 3/8" dove tail rings. (a very good set-up I might add; A real squirrel killer and shoots sub 1/2"@50yds with match grade ammo.)
Since the CZ uses proprietary rings and probably dosen't offer extended rings you are probably going to be limited as to how small a scope will fit.
I've had similar issues mounting Leupold VariX-II and III scopes on both military/converted actions as well as MkX actions and ParkerHale actions.
FWIW; I've got a Colt LightRifle (limited Colt production of the UltraLite Arms long action). It came with a set of Talley one-piece base/ring set. It requires a long scope. Luckly, I ran across an older Burris Signature 2x-8x. It has a very short tube in front of the adjustment segment and a long tube behind the adjustment turrets. This I believe was marketed as a shotgun scope but is a perfect on the Colt.
You may have to shop around for the "perfect fit", but the end result will be worth the hunt.
www.midwayusa.com has all the critical scope dimensions on the scope pages for the individual scopes. This is invaluable in shopping for a scope, even if you don't buy from them.
I've got a Leupold VX-III 1.5-5 20mm scope on my MkX .338/06. It has Leupold low rings and with proper eye relief only about 1.5" of the 1"dia. tube extending beyond the front ring. Looks a little odd, but also an ideal set-up for something to go into the Alaskan alder thickets after a BIG bearor moose,ect. Shoots MOA or so with a 250gr bullet at 2,600fps. Rifle holds 6rds compared to a .338mag with 4rds....... at 2,650fps.
Good luck with your scope shopping!!

I've got one on a Marlin 1895G in 45/70. I really like it. If you read the directions you can tune the Ballistic plex reticle model to the ballistic coeficient of your caliber with the power ring. I have mine set up so it is minute of "Deer Shoulder" accurate to 300 yds. I'm not sure about your fit.
I have one on a Marlin 336 that works perfectly but it's going to be tuff fitting that short scope on a true long action.
The 3x9x32 is slightly longer so perhaps that might be something to look into.
They are nice scopes for their intended purpose.
