Well, as much as I am fond of my CZ 527 7.62x39mm carbine, it has been a bit of a problem getting glass on it. Funds, mostly, but one thing was the closeness of the bolt handle to the rear bell.
Enter the scope a friend sent, a Bushnell 4-12x40 AO. A bit large for a carbine like this, but I'm grateful for what I get, since I can't afford the nice scope I'd like sometime, and this little rifle begs to be shot.
Down to the gunsmith for a proper mounting, and lo and behold, the scope will not allow the bolt handle to fully clear. Out comes the oddest accesory I own, the picatinney rail adapter from CZ-USA. One set of low mount Weaver rings, and voila!
Close up...
Give enough clearance to work the bolt, but not too high, I'm hoping. Boresight's done and hopefully, weather permitting, off to the range tomorrow. After she's sighted in with regular ammo, these need to be tested.
