CZ 457 LRP ring height

[swarovski]

Hi all..
Can anybody tell me what height picatinny rings I need to fit close to the barrel..
Scope is a sightron stac 4-20x50 ..
Cheers Swaro

I would just buy good quality low rings.
The rail on the lrp looks quite high so you might not get rings low enough to leave the objective close to the barrel.
Your rifle has an adjustable cheekpiece so I wouldn't worry about ring height

You would need Medium as I have a x44 with low mounts

Thank you

I use mediums on mine with a 56mm objective. Don’t think id be going low, even with 3-4mm additional clearance.

Can you do a photo of the scope barrel gap

 

[swarovski]

I won't be using flip up covers which need room

Best thing is to set the scope on the rail with some coins to get the height you want. Alan Rhone has a video of this method on you tube.
One ring brands low wont be the same height as another brands low so it's hard to recommend anything without measuring first

OK thanks..
Very likely to be tier one rings..
3 out of my 4 rifles with a picatinny rail on has them on..
All mediums I think..
The other has optilock rings

Not sure about my 6.5x47..
The gap was bigger than I wanted

Remember also, it’s not about getting the closest gal you can, it’s about the scope being at a comfortable height to shoot with. If it’s too low, you won’t mount the rifle straight and will bend your neck.

You could get away with a low mount, but I would go medium.

There are calculators out there to put the ring height and scope size in to give you the gap. Not all 50mm objectives are actually 50mm diameter. The 50mm is the glass size and not the size of the scope itself

Thanks..
That is quite a gap but not out of place with that chunky scope.
Dammit I I've been deliberating on the mk1 or Mk2 and the grey stock has thrown me again

It’s only around 10-12mm I think. The grey stock shows dirt and grime worse than the black. I’d go black if I had the choice

I would agree. I read on another forum where a guy's grey stock got badly stained around the pistol grip area

OK thanks

That’s with low and a 44mm objective lense

What ammo does your LRP's like..?

SK ammo either match or long range.
Eley subs and Winchester subs

I gave up on eley subs and winnie subs as the accuracy poor in comparison with eley match and centre x..

They still do the business with better accuracy in my CZ452 varmint
