CZ550 / Leupold scope issues

[Rick Cox]

Not sure of the base selection, but I've seen bases with the dovetail portion extended beyond the screw portion. If the extended portion is to the rear, this may add enough distance for the eye relief to correct; the problem is that if the scope sits farther back, the bell may be hitting the action, which may require getting rings that are taller.

A new VX5 1-5 illuminated will be here this week or next... now I have to buy a new gun to put the other scope on.

I have a VX-3 1.5-5 on my.375 H & H CZ 550 magnum, with Leupold rings. Just barely enough room to get the proper eye relief. My glass was great and I was able to shoot beyond 200 yards on a kudu with no problems. I shot every thing from a Steenbok to an Eland in 2017. I had no issues with the scope. I was using the CZ to practice for a Buffalo hunt this year. I don't believe you will have any problems with the 1-5 scope at any distance you will shoot in Africa.
