The CZ 527 rings with brass shims locked up tight. I hope it sights in ok because we have a private land doe hunt this weekend.

Well I didn't have much luck sighting in my two drilling that I have scoped. My H.Scherping ran out of elevation and the drilling with the CZ ring ran out of windage. So I took the scope off the Scherping and shot my first deer with open sights.

Use a laser bore sighter and try turning the rings so they tighten on opposite side to help with the windage problem.

Also using a straight tube scope Leupold 1-4, 1.5-5 or straight 2.5x you can use lower rings and not have to lift your head so high off the stock to use the scope.

Sauer drilling with old Weaver K-1.5 in home fabricated claw rings made from Weaver Grandslam steel rings. 100 yard sight in.

R.Marshall,
With regard to the drilling with CZ ring, I suggest you "drift" the dovetail plate the front ring fits into, opposite the direction you need to move the POI. You will be surprised how much the POI moves with a small movement of the plate. The Scherping will be more troublesome. You bay be able to get a useful
zero" by varying the load. We don't know if it hits high or low, and by how much. Also we don't know particulars or the load or the distance to the target. BTW, Waidmannsheil.

R. Marshal,
The side view looks like a dovetailed plate, but the top view does not clearly show that. If there is not a plate dovetailed into the rib or a base let into the rib, you won't be able to follow my suggestion. In that case, you will have to use Oskar's method.

Are the two dove tails EXACTLY the same width? If the rear one is narrower, then that will explain why your windage is off. BTW, I have a Simson drilling where the front claw mount was soldered in crooked. Had to jump through major hoops to work around that! A solution can be found--even if it means adjusting for manufacturing mistakes. Good luck.

the dovetailed plates look to be the same width (can you measure and confirm?)
a fairly standard set-up on hunting rifles of a certain age in Germany.
both plates can be 'drifted' for 'windage' adjustment on the early, 'elevation only' adjustable scopes - before 'windage adjustable scope legs' were invented some time before WW2 - or perhaps earlier - can't remember now, getting old.
If (unlikely) the plates should be of different widths, then it can only be a specific manufacturers 'own' mounting system.
But unlikely I should think.
I have come across these things in the past and, as far as I remember, the plates were always identical in width.
In fact, I've got some 'legs' somewhere for that type of mounting system - 'lever' type, if I remember correctly.
Our friends in Germany should have an idea - I haven't lived there for more than 45 years, so am out of touch.

open sights worked out ok. 60yards drop dead in his tracks
