New Peep Sight idea for CZ 527 usisng See-Through Scope Mounts

[Hick]

I've been working some time to find a good way to use both a peep sight and a scope on my CZ 527, but hadn't found a product out there that really did what I want at a reasonable price. So, I just finished modifying existing available hardware for my own purpose. Details on how I did it are in the attached fileCZ Peep Sight mount.pdf

Very interesting. I like it

Nice job of work, but it does beg the question "just how high does one wish to mount a scope before cheek weld becomes a joke?"

[Hick]

Good question. The CZ has a raised cheek pad-- and the mount is medium height, so that the cheek piece hits just below my cheek bone-- so it works out.

why wouldn't you use really good rings you can trust to reset to zero?

[Hick]

Whiterabbit-- I assume you mean the type that let you remove the scope and use the iron sights. I could have done that (if I could have found a set for the 16mm CZ dovetail), but then I'd be using the open sight dovetail for my peep sight, which gives me a sight radius of only 16 inches. By building the peep sight into the rear ring I got a 24 inch sight radius for my peep sight, which really helps with accuracy.

I tried a see=through mount years ago. I found that rifle cant was a problem for me.
