I am trying to find 1 inch rings for the CZ-527. The ones offered in the CZ catalog are 30mm.

Anything special or proprietary about CZ rings? I have been hunting in MidwayUSA Do I need standard, weaver or dovetail or what?
 
Watch out for the Burris MEDUM rings. I have a set on my 527 carbine. They're a little too short to clear the bolt handle from the ocular on most scopes.
 
Thanks. I am scope shopping for a rifle I don't own yet and want to make sure I don't end up with some combination that won't work.
 
I ahve Warne rings on 3 of my CZ rifles, Millett on one CZ rifle, and a set ao Weaver see through on the .17 HMR 452 HB American.

Take care
 
I use Leupold rings and a Leupold VXII 1-4x20 on my 527 Carbine and the fit is perfect. No problem with the bolt handle clearance at all.

I just bought a 527 American in 223 and it came with the CZ 1" rings included. They're hell for stout but kind of clunky looking. I've heard that Talley makes a good CZ 527 ring that allows the bolt to clear most scopes.
 
I have a CZ 527 American in 204 and went through the same issues. If you are interested in using low rings then I suggest get a new bolt handle. James Calhoon at www.jamescalhoon.com will do a one for one swap for $43 shipped. All you have to do is take your bolt handle off which is easier than it sounds, and mail it in with a check or money order for $43 and he'll mail you a bolt handle capable of clearing the ocular lens of a 40mm scope using low rings. I have a 3-9x40 (w/Leupold Dot) on low rings and have no clearance problems.
