CZ 527 and Warne 30mm Medium Scope Rings- Max Scope Size

[Kevin876996]

I recently ordered some Warne 30mm Medium Scope Rings for my CZ 527. The rifle will be used for prairie dogs, so I would like a scope with a good amount of magnification. What is the biggest scope I can get?

I think the limiting factor is the objective size. I have the high rings and a normal sized objective only clears the bolt handle by ~5mm. I can get an OD measurement tonight.

It's difficult to capture, but I have less than 3mm of clearance with the high rings and the eyepiece OD of 47.8mm (both measurements including the cap). The scope itself has a 44mm OD eyepiece, so it would work without the caps and the medium rings, but would interfere with the caps.

On the front end, I have ~6mm clearance with a 56mm OD objective (including the cap).

I am able to mount a 50 mm bell with ease. Haven't tried a 56 yet, but I have room.
