Hi-line Montana
I have tried reverse google image searching, I've searched tons of photos, etc. I could always replace them with another type of mount however I cannot tell if the holes are "standard" mauser spacing used for Talleys or Leupold bases. I'm interested in the gun, the mount just threw me off. Looks like a european version of a Leupold base, front dovetail and rear twists in then must clamp from each side.

It's a VZ24 sporterized. Using a Brno barrel in 7X64.

It appears to be a classic swing mount, as is currently produced nowadays by Recknagel, but this one looks as if it was adapted to this rifle. I suspect that the bolt action was not pre-drilled so that mounts could be screwed on.
 
Vz.24 was a military action with stripper clip port. No port on this one so either the port was filled in and machined down or some other action? I suggest calipering the hole placement end to end, making a diagram. Then compare to hole placement for various two piece bases and even one-piece bases/rails to see if something will match up to holes in your receiver.

This is the reason why the front screw of the rear base is more behind.
 
I suspect, otherwise it would not explain the position of the screws on the rear base. The standard manufactured bases have the holes in different places.

Ah I was confused. I was thinking of the EAW bases and thought it didn't look right because they have a "loc" tab on the rear base. I was lumping Recknagel into that same company. So ignorance on my part.

Thank you very much, you are 100% correct I am sure it is a Recknagel style mount. Hopefully same specs as current made Recknagel so rings will fit on easily.

I'm not able to measure the holes as it is an upcoming online auction. It is a military VZ24 action as other pictures show the military markings. Seller says BRNO manufactured in 2001 but I'm sure they're just using a BRNO barrel, as I'm 99% sure BRNO wasn't sporterizing stuff, especailly at that time.

Hello, My wife and I hunted with Marius 2 years ago. He fit us into his schedule after a different outfitter "bailed" on us. He was always very good with communications and although we didn't end up meeting him personally, he called us multiple times during our hunt to make sure things were going well. We were very happy with him.

Reach out to the guys at Epic Outdoors.

They will steer you right for landowner tags and outfitters that have them.

I have held a membership with them for years and they are an invaluable resource.

Way better that asking random people on the internet...WAY better

Skydiver386,

Did you ever find your 30-06 CZ550? I own a fairly solid conditioned one, if you wanted to talk.
