steve_b_wales Posted July 13, 2023 Report Share Posted July 13, 2023 I recently purchased the above rail off a member on here (it was the right one) to attach to the 'dovetails on the rifle. The only issue now is that I can't seem to find scope mounts (25mm) to fit correctly onto the rail. I have fitted one set but not entirely happy with them. Does anyone know if there is a certain make that will fit correctly please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow243 Posted July 13, 2023 Report Share Posted July 13, 2023 Hi i have just got the same rail and i can fit any single bolt picatinny scope mounts to it if you look at your mounts is the bolt going thru them have a square they will be harder to fit the round bolt types are better for picatinny hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to file a fraction off the bolts but then found another set which were slightly better. I'm not too happy at the way the mounts clamp on the rail though. I don't think the scope will come off, and the rifle is a .22 Hornet so hardly any recoil. These are the scope mounts. They grip the PicatinnyWeaver rail but don't seem 'right' to me. I've tried turning the claws around but no joy. Thanks. Edited July 13, 2023 by steve_b_wales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fitted the Picatinny/Weaver rail which was made for that rifle (I believe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Best Posted July 13, 2023 Report Share Posted July 13, 2023 Why don’t you just fit scope mounts directly to the dovetail on the rifle? I can’t understand why you would put an extra rail between scope and rifle? I have BRNO .22 Hornet and Mod.2 R.F. and on both rifles the scope mounts just fine directly on the rifle. Or perhaps I am missing a point somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow243 Posted July 13, 2023 Report Share Posted July 13, 2023 i use night vision infiray tube td50l on my air rifles and cz brno .22l if you use a picatinny rail on each rifle you can swap the scope from rifle too rifle without losing zero you just change the scope setting to what rifle you want to use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarecrow243 Posted July 13, 2023 Report Share Posted July 13, 2023 nothing if you look at the pics i put up the day scope only fits in the two slots it wont fit in the other's so when removed and replaced it does not lose zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have mounts that fit directly onto the rifle, as it was and still is used with a 'normal scope'. 12 hours ago, scarecrow243 said: the cz 527 are supposed to be the same as the cz brno mod 1 & 2 top is 17mm inside grove 15mm i will measure my rail to check does the picatinny rail have 8 grub screws that's what mine has made by britannia The Picatinny rail that I purchased off a PW member has 4 screws (two on each'end') that attach to the dovetails that are fitted on the rifle.

The Picatinny rail that I purchased fits perfectly onto these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow243 Posted July 14, 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 your scope mount's should be fine a lot of scope mount's don't lock fully most have a small gap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mounts have gripped tightly and as mentioned, there's virtually no recoil on the rifle (.22 Hornet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
