How to mount dovetail scope rings on a CZ 457

Scope rings - the dovetail type - are mounted directly onto the dovetail of the CZ rifle. Dovetail scope rings allow you to install the scope directly to the rifle - without need of extra picatinny rail.

Installing a scope on the firearm will enhance the shooting experience, increase shooting accuracy, and allow for better targeting even at greater distances.

If your CZ is equipped with a picatinny rail, you will not be looking for dovetail rings - you will need to get picatinny-type scope rings instead.

How to mount dovetail scope rings on a CZ 457

What will you need:

• Dor screwdriver
• T10 and T25 bits

Step by step guide:

1. Ensure you have an empty chamber.
2. Proceed to unscrew every screw you see on the rings.
3. Once all screws are out, slide the bottom halves of the rings onto the dovetail and tighten them to the recommended torque specification, which is between 2 and 2.5 Newton meters.
4. Place the scope in the desired position and loosely screw in the upper halves of the rings. Now you have the flexibility to adjust the scope's position to your liking.
5. Once the scope is correctly positioned, tighten the screws to the recommended torque settings (2 - 2.5 Nm).
6. I recommend tightening in a cross pattern to distribute the pressure evenly, just like when you tighten the wheel nuts on a car.
7. You’re done!
