Gringo CazadorLeupold European 30, pretty short, will it fit a 550 CZ
I was thinking about getting a Leupold Euro 30mm, the straight tube scope. Maybe should have posted on the scope forum, but figured somebody here had one.
Anyway, they are about 9" long if I am correct, with better than two inches of that the eye piece,looks like front ring would be pretty close to the end. The CZ is a pretty long action, doesnt look like much tube left. Anybody mounted one..........or heck even seen one. I think midway sells them.

George WoodGringo--- I have 2 of the European 30's both 1.25 X 4 One is on the M.R.C .375 I hunted with in Zim. last summer. I realy like them and havn't had any problems. The second one is on a CZ .416 Rigby and I've only shot about 50 rds. through it as I'm reworking the rifle. The ring spaceing is pushing the envelope with the front of the front ring .075 from the back of the gold ring and the rear of the rear ring .050 fron the power adj. This has been the rifle from hell, and it all started with hurricane Charley and I'm still waiting on the blueing. Hope to someday post some pics. George

Gringo CazadorHey Geo.
Thats what I wanted to know, I thought it would be close, but figured it would work. What kind of rings are you using.
thanks, Billy

Gringo CazadorJeffe,
I have a set of warnes on it now. I think midway carried them. Found a couple more sites, but can't remember, but didnt call to make they were in stock either. Might be hard to come by, but bet they can be got.
