Benchrest scope for a cz

nastros

So I joined a club and purchased a cz452 lux now just going through the process of getting the license. Just thought I would ask peoples opinions on a scope that would be good fit to the cz452. I will be doing benchrest shooting with it but I am currently very confused by what scope is best suited to benchrest so any advice is appreciated on this.

Depends on the type and category of Benchrest (and what else you want to do with the gun)

To shoot in International Sporter class you can only shoot with a maximum of 6.5 power, and if you have a 6-18 power for example, the scope is supposed to be taped to 6.5 during the match.

To shoot LIght Varmint class, there is no restriction on power, so personally if I was shooting this I would try to get as much power as possible so maybe an 8-32, if using the gun for hunting as well, but if using it mainly for target shooting then something like a 10-40 or a fixed power like a Weaver T36.

To shoot Heavy Varmint, again there is no limit on scope magnification, but your CZ would be at a distinct disadvantage in this class due to its weight.

What you should also consider is getting a "yo dave" or "brooks" trigger kit, it really transforms the CZ.

So a low to high variable will let you shoot in IS and LV, but if shooting LV get as much power as possible IMHO

I have a Weaver T-36 and a T-45 on two of my .22 rifles, not for serious stuff like you guys, though. They are optically VERY good and reasonable prices too. Mine came off GunBroker.com for around $300 each, IIRC.

Just curious Tac, whats the T-45, is that a weaver as well?

I have had the T36, and intend to get a another one and love as much mag as possible, but have never heard of the T45.

Actually, the T-45 is only a T-36 with a Davis Bulzeye magnifier on it - see the blurb -

'Gene Davis has a new product that boosts the magnification of Leupold, Sightron, and Weaver BR scopes. A threaded ring with a Zeiss lens simply screws on to your scope behind the eyepiece, using the threads provided for lens caps. (Consider it an eyepiece extension). Both 2X and 3X models are available. The 2X version increases image size about 15% while the 3X boosts the viewed image roughly 30%. Hence, on a 36X scope, Davis’ 3X booster creates the equivalent of a 46X power scope.'

Here's the website - http://www.bulzeyepro.com/

So I guess it's really a T-46.

Never needed one. I just use a nail to bang out the pin. One of those concrete nails. Just support the under-side of the trigger well.

And if your worried about snaping the trigger you can grind off very little of the pin head. Then use a little dab of epoxy glue on the pin head when putting it all back

do not buy those yokes you wont need it just put something under the barrel to stop it leaning on the trigger as you knock the pins out!

Scalachi

I have put in those trigger kits maybe half a dozen times.

Hammer and a nail is your only man, or you could be posh and use a small punch
