Guys: I am tapping into the brain power on this site.... I bought a .375 H+H, CZ 550 Safari and mounted a Leupold VX5 hd 2 - 10 illuminated scope on it using Warne rings. The issue I have is that as much as I like the scope, I have NO adjustment to move it back closer to my eye. At the moment I am having to really scrunch forward to get a full sight picture. Naturally, I want to have rapid target acquisition without having to think about it. The problem is that the long action and the short front space on the scope do not allow any movement.
The options seem to be either a) buy a new scope, say the VX5 1 - 5, b)have my gunsmith drill and tap the receiver for a rail, c) try to find one of the rails that are compatible with the CZ machined grooves. This last option is probably the easiest except this is Canada, and such items are hard to come by. Also, I am a bit skeptical about the mechanical integrity of the last option.
Ideas? Comments?
