xm15e2m4Replacement CZ Sights
Do any members make, or know of a source for sights for the CZ 550 safari rifles?
A peep style that utilized the rear scope dovetail for the apperture would be nice.
I found several older posts on this but no satisfactory answers.

WinkI have purchased from New England Custom guns (NECG) their peep sight and front patridge sight for my CZ 550 Magnum in 416 Rigby. If you have a little bit of tinkering ability you fit the front sight yourself. I removed the original island rear sight from the rifle as I now use a scope or the peep sight.
The NECG peep sight combination is very good. I am able to put three shots touching each other at 50 meters with no problem.

xm15e2m4Thanks for the info! I have the same rifle. Did you attatch the peep to the rear of the reciever? If so by what method. After load development with a 6X leupold I intend to mount a 1.5 -5 in QD rings and would love to have a backup peep that could be left attatched while using optics.

If I can remember I will take some pics so that you can see what the peep looks like when mounted. You cannot use a scope at the same time as the peep as it is mounted in the same dovetail cuts. I don't think NECG has put a picture of the sight on the website yet, but if you call them you can place your order.

xm15e2m4I just recieved mail from NECG with the info and pics on the CZ sight. Glad I can order something proper from them rather than rigging up something. Thanks.
