Is anyone using a red dot sight on their CZ 550 ?

[SkullKeeper]

I’m thinking about trying a red dot type of sight on my CZ 550 (505 Gibbs) but don’t know what holds up good or even has a quick release mounting system (much preferred). I’m not sure whether i want it mounted on the front base or rear base. All help is appreciated!

This is a 550 in .416 Rigby I did use a RMR on my .505 Gibbs also. With great results.

Worked well for me on my 450 Rigby. Trijicon RMR that came with mount from euro optic.

Skull, on the elephant hide 550 shown above. I bought the Trijicon from Mark Biggerstaff and the mount from AHR.

I use a RMR on my CZ 550 416 and had one for a Brno 602 in 458 Lott. Both were mounted on qd mounts from AHR. Works/ed well. I preferred mounting onthe front receiver ring.
Felt that I was limited to about 75/80 yds accuracy wise but did practice on the range at 100.
I felt a good deal of confidence in using them.

@Frederik uses one on his 458 Lott. Here’s something he wrote up about it.

I am going to look at all the options with York this week at SCI. He is wanting a new one. I wish the Kahles Helia was still being sold in the US. Yours looks good.

Either the Trijicon SRO or RMR HD with an AHR QD mount work perfect on the CZ 550.

After consulting with the Forum, I too purchased the Trijicon SRO with 1 MOA dot. I purchased a quick release mount from AHR that fits the Trijicon. I have since found an additional AHR mount that will fit a Leupold sight. Both fit on the front mounting bridge of the BRNO/CZ, and so far, it has returned to zero every time.

I had a Trijicon RMR on my .416 Rigby, I used a mount made by Skinner Sights I believe. I no longer have the rifle because I didn’t need 2, but I think I kept the mount. It worked well.
