[QUOTE="Dr. Mac, post: 1625971, member: 104530"] I’m late to the thread but I had the exact same problem with a CZ 550 in 9.3x62 using any 3x9 or higher magnification scope; 1 inch or 30mm main tube diameter. Not so with a 30mm 1x8 with more up elevation adjustment or with my CZ 6.5x55 with any scope. I have concluded that it is a design flaw in the 19mm dovetail system with heavy bullets and standard scopes that CZ should correct on these otherwise strong and affordable rifles. My solution was to use an aluminum clamp on 20 MOA Picatinny rail which solved the elevation problem completely with any of my scopes but did raise the scope height about 0.375” from where it would have been. I like the rifle a lot and considered having a gunsmith mill the dovetails off and installing one of the excellent Ken Farrell steel picatinny rails made for the 550. Milling the dovetails off would also solve the scope height problem if you can’t live with it. So far I can. Great post. [/QUOTE]
