Thread: New scope and rings problem

Need some advice on what to do next.
I was very happy to be woken this morning by the courier today, meant my package had finally arrived, thought it was going to be a great day.


I got a cracking deal on a Burris C4 scope from the States (140US down from 300), and decided I would get some new rings for a few guns too.
I already had a C4 on my CZ 17hmr and wanted one for my CZ 22lr.

I also wanted to replace the high rings on my 17hmr with some lower ones and get some equally low ones for the new scope on my 22.
Everything arrived hunky dory and mounted the two scopes on the two CZs but to my dismay realized that the bolt fouls on the massive serrations on the magnification ring on the C4 on both guns. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

So as I see it my options are:
A, Grind a chunk out of my bolt
B, Grind the serrations off my scopes
C, gets some taller rings.

Not keen on A or B, and not to keen on C either.

The rings on the 17hmr are some low Warne 7.3/22 ones, which I got to replace the same thing but in medium as my check weld was not good.
The rings on the 22lr are some Burris rimfire which are low, and the next size up is stupidly high. I want the signature rings so I can use the replacable inserts.

Well there's actually actually option D which is put my Burris Fullfield 2 back on with the low Warnes and the C4 back on with the medium Warnes, but then all I have achieved is making work for myself.

Have included a picture of the low Warnes to show the fouling, and the Burris ones are 50thou lower again
