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

This cover was on my sight during my hunt. And I’m confident it drastically reduced the amount of dust. The dust is so fine it still gets on everything. And I had a lot of stalks so would remove it when inside of 100 yards or so. So it eventually needs cleaning.

My PH in the Kalahari had a CZ-550 416 Rigby and wanted to mount one. I sent him the mount with @BourbonTrail, and last I heard he finally installed one on his rifle. The PH used his rifle for backup hunters during lion hunts.

If there´s a good mount available where you´re at you might want to look into an Aimpoint Acro. It has a closed emitter so it´s not as sensitive to dust etc as some other suggestions and it´s designed to be mounted on pistol slides (which are subject to very high acceleration) so the recoil of a 505 should not be a problem at all. I might be a little biased because it´s one of very few internationally known gun related Swedish companies but I don´t think anyone can honestly call Aimpoints bad.

Missed this post earlier. The Aimpoints were developed for the 20mm antiaircraft canons so they can take a fair bit of recoil. There are those who put a 2 or 3 power magnifier attachment on them, I don't know why as you then have a standard scope and parallax, eye position comes into play.
