Here is my situation. Have a Rem. 700BDL in .22-250 and a new CZ American 455 with .22LR and .17HMR bbls. and want new scopes for both. I decided on a Nikon Buckmaster 4.5-14x40 BDC for the Remmy and a Vortex XfireII in
6-18x44AO for the CZ. The Nikon fit the Remmy perfectly but the rings available for the CZ weren't tall enough to allow the 44mm bell to clear the barrel. I've searched for CZ high rings without success, tried some see-through Weavers but for some reason the scope wouldn't mount solid enough on the 11mm dovetail ramps to properly zero the rifle. I since have switched the scopes and they fit each different rifle--but the reticles are not exactly what I wanted for the usage of each gun? Oh, we'll I should be happy with a good plan gone awry! When the gun/buying availability madness normalizes then I may find the high rings I want and switch the scopes back to their intended guns.
