I have 2 CZ527's, the .22 Hornet wears a Swarovski 3-9x36 in medium Warne rings, which needs the bolt knob ground down for clearance, even with the 39mm diameter ocular bell.

I have 2 CZ527's, the .22 Hornet wears a Swarovski 3-9x36 in medium Warne rings, which needs the bolt knob ground down for clearance, even with the 39mm diameter ocular bell.
The second is in 7.62x39 and wears a Leupold VXIII 2.5-8x36, bolt handle not ground down and scope is in QD Warne high rings.
This is a small and quite dainty scope, but even so the bolt misses the scope by only about 1.5mm.
I also have a couple of sets of the factory supplied CZ rings, they are slightly taller than the high Warne's.
I would never again use the Millet* rings on any scope or rifle I own, any set of rings that can mangle a scope so easily should never have been made.
You will also find scope with long eye relief (like Leupold) cause more scope mounting issues than anything else on these mini Mauser actions due to the closely spaced bases.
