I am looking to mount a NIKON MONARCH 3.5-10X50MM on CZ 550 FS gun with a 19mm base,
Would it be possible to find a see trough rings for this particular rifle?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Save your money, time, sanity, and possibly your hunt, & forget the see-throughs!
Get some Weavers, Talleys, or Leupold Dual Dovetails, and keep your scope on its lowest setting. You'll never have any problems getting on game, & you'll never have any problems with your scope getting off zero.
I thought see through rings sounded good, but with time ive become an anti see through rings guy, higher scope mounts.....are more of a discourage to me than to see through/up close.
I'm still surprised when I hear/see guys bring the rifle up at game thats close, and their scope is dialed way up.....like who does that happen to? leave it set on low, and youll always be ready, if the game is way out there youll have that 2secs it takes to crank it up.
When stalking.....your scope should never be cranked up IMO, lowest setting always.
Mount the scope to high but are too low IMHO for iron use. Not to mention they are weak and often plaqued with walking POI troubles. I owneda set in the 80'sand they never made it to a single hunting season because they wouldn't hold POI.
Anotheroption: if your looking to be able to use the irons in certain situations, you could always go with a quality quick release mounting system(like warne, talley, etc). I use warne maxima's QD'son my ML's and I have never been more then 1" from my original POI after removal.
I tried a set of see troughs years ago too. Kinda of a neat idea to be able to use both iron sights or scope. I found it harder to find my iron sights through the small opening under my scope than to just use the scope. Must of looked good on paper but IMO not worth a darn.
As you will soon find out CZ's need a high mounted scope and are not the easiest rifle to scope..see through rings went out with curb scrapers, hanging dice and hula bobbles.
