How to mount dovetail scope rings on a CZ 457

What will you need:

  • Torx screwdriver
  • T10 and T25 bits

Step by step guide:

  1. Ensure you have an empty chamber.
  2. Unscrew every screw on the rings.
  3. Once all screws are removed, slide the bottom halves of the rings onto the dovetail and tighten them to the recommended torque specification (2–2.5 Nm).
  4. Place the scope in the desired position and loosely screw in the upper halves of the rings. Adjust the scope’s position as needed.
  5. Once the scope is correctly positioned, tighten the screws to the recommended torque settings (2–2.5 Nm).
  6. Tighten the screws in a cross pattern to distribute pressure evenly.
  7. You're done!
