Drilled and Tapped

[rection47]

If a rifle isnt drilled and tapped for scope mounts from the company what does one have to do, to get a scope mounted and what would it cost?

The CZ 527 Varmint Kevlar says sights none, while the Browning A-bolt composite stalker is already drilled and tapped for scope mounts. (these are the two rifles im looking at).

Order the CZ rings with it. Looks like the reciever is dovetailed and from what I've read, is not a standard size. Others may be able to provide more info, however.

Alright, maybe ill email CZ and see what they can tell me.
Thanks

The last time I looked Warne and Millett made rings for it.

CZ/BRNOs

We have had BRNOs (now called CZs) in Australia for yonks, they are all dovetailed for mounts and don't need drilling.

Great guns, I have had a lot of them. Currently have an old BRNO No2 22RF and a BRNO Fox in 22 Hornet.

Recently bought a new CZ 527 carbine in 7.62x39. It has 16mm groves for mounting the scope and seems perfectly adequate. The larger rifles called for a diferent mount so it might be bigger than the 16mm grove. I do not see any thing wrong with this system. It is probably even stronger than 2 screws, since each mount captures about 1/2" on each rail.

some guns have rings or grooves for mounting.

Otherwise unless you are good with a press and taps I suggest a gunsmith who knows what he was doing.

Don't expect it to be cheap though, it can cost quite a bit for all the holes needed.
