Rifle scopes with longer rear ends?

[distantcamera]

Hi folks,

Please bear with me on this. It might be what counts as a silly question!

I have a Brno ZKK-601 .243. This is fitted with a Hilver mount and rings, and so there isn’t any adjustment for the positioning of the rings.

To get (almost) comfortable positioning of the scope I need to wedge the rear ring right up against the turret, but even then it is a little too far forward.

All the scopes I have are about 6” between the turret mound and the rear lens. It seems that the way to sort this (without cutting the stock) would be to get a scope which is longer at the rear to have more adjustment. Is it just a coincidence that all my scopes are the same or are there some with different dimensions?

Currently it has a Nikki Stirling Gameking 6-24x50 AO, and it seems a perfectly reasonable scope for a target as big as a roe, so something similar would be good.

Put a longer rail on and shift the scope around /

I have investigated this, but it doesn’t seem like there are very many options for this rifle. I believe that the 19mm dovetails are quite unusual.

It looks a beauty. Do you have dimensions?

Also, has it really been for sale for two years?

The CZ 550 is 19mm and there are rails readily available I think.

Yes. I can only speculate most SD members want scopes given of objectives in excess of 50mm, 30/34mm tubes and ring spacing that ensures they are excused use of a rail!

As for measurements the scope is boxed & wrapped ready for posting so I can't measure but this from the original catalogue in imperial:

I don't think I have enough posts to be able to reply in your sales thread, but I'll take it. You can drop me a PM to arrange?

 

[Klenchblaize]

OK and thanks. Give me a couple of days to locate package and arrange postage etc.

I'll PM you so you can let me have the address you want it posted to. Pay me upon receipt.
