What scope mounts are you using with the 602 and what experiences have you had with them?

Thanks
Mike

Hi Mike,
The new, "beefed up" double screw rings from WARNE are a good buy, nice looking and do the job. I put a good number of rounds through my BRNO - 602 in .458 Lott and had no problems with the quick-detachable mounts. Return to zero was not especially good at first but I later discovered such was due to an installation flaw of my own creation.

I agree with the previous post. Warne rings work well, look great and are attractively priced.

Howdy Mike,

I got some Warne units for my 602, but they put the low-power Swarovski scope objective low enough so that it interfered with the bolt handle. I have the BRNO mounts on there now.

Lately I have been buying Talley mounts.

Jim,
That's common with the CZ rifles. I've had to grind, polish and reblue any bolts with low mounted scopes.

Nickudu,

I am going to use Leupold 1.5 x 5 on my 602, are you saying I will have to alter the bolt handle? I hope not I do not want any complications.

Thanks

Mike

Mike,
In a minimal way only and perhaps not at all with the ZZK-602 action. With the CZ-550, the squared tang towards the top of the bolt handle comes all too close or actually touches the scope housing when using Warne or Leupold low-set detachable rings. A hi-speed Dremel with a composite surfacing disk will correct this. Then polish the affected area with crohcus cloth to a high shine and reblue until dark enough to match. You can hardly see the alteration. The actual position of the bolt knob remains unchanged.

I've just switched to Warne mounts (1BLM medium height, they don't make a "low") for my Leupold 1-4x20 on a CZ 550 Magnum. I was worried about the height not being enough after reading this but when the scope was mounted I still had about 1/6 of an inch clearance between the bolt handle and the bell when operating the bolt. In other words, no problem
