New Czech & American family members

In the last week I've picked up two new rimfire rifles.

That's a (very dirty) Marlin 70PSS Papoose .22LR and a CZ452 Varmint .22WMR. The Marlin is used, traded a Ruger Single Six for it. The CZ is new, and it shows. The action is still stiff, doesn't want to feed out of the magazine all the time, etc. Wouldn't hurt it to be cleaned and oiled. I have a scope for the CZ but no rings because the guy at Sportsman's Warehouse thought they were the special CZ type; it takes 3/8" standard dovetail groove type. I have a set of rings for the Marlin, and I'm going to mount a handgun scope on there to keep it compact and portable. The Marlin gives very tight groups with the ammo that I've tried so far (Federal 40gr GameShok FMJ) and I've very pleased with it. I'm itching to try the CZ this weekend, hope the weather holds up.

Cool! Two of my favorite firearms makeers, CZ and Marlin.

Those 452s are very nice. I might be wrong, but I think they use a 16mm or 17mm scope rail. It's a European standard I believe.

Here's some at Brownells:

DMK, according to this page, we may both be wrong.

It mentions 11mm rings, and that's what CZ sells on their accessories page. I'll be darned if the rings the guy sold me last night would clamp down on the groove though. The 3/8" fit, but are not the best fit. I'll have to dig around see if I can find rings a little cheaper than $52. Thanks for the links.
