BKL 257 rings and 50mm scope

[kennyboy]

If mounted on a CZ 452 Varmint (.17hmr), will the BKL 257 rings allow enough clearance for a scope such as the Simmons Whitetail 6.5-20 with a 50mm objective lens? Please show pics of any of your rifles w/these rings and/or a 50mm scope. Thanks.

It is tall enough! I did the math and you should have about two hundredths of an inch left.

The 257 rings measure 1.27" from the top of the BOTTOM ring to the dovetail, and the scope's objective size taken from Midway USA is 2.50" so if you cut 2.50 in half, you would have 1.25", 2 hundredths of an inch. Might be a tight fit though. If you decide to get the taller 257's, go on BKL's site instead of cz452.com and they'll have the taller rings to choose for about the same price as on cz452.com.

Thanks a lot. That is exactly what I wanted to know.
