rogo Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 So they have gone back in exchange for set of highs I had the same problem with my Warne mounts. 50mm scope I was told to use high mounts. Bolt wouldn't go in so I had to have extra high mounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted May 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Rogo, Please tell that wasn't with a CZ527? I have just had Minsterley on the phone telling me my Warne highs are in the post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGJON Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 It's awful when you get something new and you can't use it... I'm sure you will get it sorted eventually. I have put mine on my .222 Tikka 595. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted May 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 2 bits of good news. Firstly, Minsterley had the highs in stock and got them to me today, and didn't hit me for anymore postage - so, to the boys up there as always Secondly, and more importantly, they do allow the bolt to juuuust clear the scope, which is a huge relief. But it has to be said the difference between Warne mediums and highs isn't much, it can only be 3mm or so - as the mediums allowed the scope to clear the barrel, just fouled the bolt. Pretty tight though as you see from the pictures .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted May 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Frank / Ive, Well as we know with CZ527's you are limited to only a few options in 16mm bases. I find the Warnes very good indeed, they are quite light cosidering they are pretty meaty and very strong - I know this as I had to deepen the counterbore hole slightly for one of the allen screws and even a new drill struggled a bit The only thing that is a bit odd is the fact they split vertically as you can see, so you have to align everything in one go. I normally screw the rings down hard to the gun dovetail, and then drop the scope in afterwards, but you have to do it all in one go which be a bit fiddly. I line my rings with insulation tape as well which doesn't help as it does twist or slide very easily to make those last fine adjustments. Having used both, all I can say they are 100% better than the Millets. The Millets are fine once you have them all set up, I never whacked my scope or rifle when my S&B was in the Milets so I can't comment on how well they would have held zero, but they are a bit fiddly to set up as the dovetail screws come in from both sides - so you can be a mile out on your windage if you are not careful. Warnes are about £50 Ive, and well worth the money. I got mine from Minsterley as the Sportsman aren't my best friends at the moment - but I am not going into that here... I have always thought rings play very important part of good setup, and that was re-inforced when my 2 mates both slipped at the same time on the hills in Scotland. Their rifles smacked each other really hard with a blood curdling sound (the sort where you don't even want to look as you are afraid of the cost of the damage) Both the rifles were re-checked for zero later neither had moved a jot. They both had S&B scopes in Optiloc rings. A days stalking that had been looked forward to for a year could easily have been ruined for the sake of cheap rings...

I have been told CZ have bought out some mounts that are ment to be top notch, my dealer is trying to get me some, but is finding it hard. :o Frank.

Stuart I have one of them rectangular gun bags where the zip covers 3 sides ...........With the tikka in this bag the zip failed and out popped the rifle .....just as I was walking down stairs The scope (simmons )with millet mounts took the full force of impact as it landed on the edge of a step .............Checked the rifle for zero later and nothing had moved ......To say I was surprised was a understatement .........So impressed I am that I put this set up on my new CZ 452 Hope this new combination of Swaro + warnes gives you hours of pleasure mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank I am sure i stumbled accross them in the States when I was browsing round.. Sounds like Ive has done a 'drop test' with the Milletts for us and they came out very well, so despite my reservations they seem like pretty good rings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
