I took my .338 lapua out the other day to shoot and I ran out of elevation at a little over 900 yards. It's built on a cz 550 magnum action. Anyway to get a 20 moa base on it without drilling into my action? I know Ken ferral makes a base for a cz 550 but it looks like it has holes in the top of them. Also heard the Burris made z rings with 20 moa inserts but can't find any.

Base for cz ?

Re: Base for cz ?
if it is the same size dovetail as the 455 rimfire rifle, then you could use an AI dovetail scope mount

Re: Base for cz ?
Why not just get a Badger Ordnanace 40 MOA base and have your receiver drilled and tapped? BTW, the holes in the top of the Farrell base ore for set screws....the base slides over the dovetail and the set screws hold it in place. Are we taking bets on how long a base like that will stand up to 338lm recoil?

Re: Base for cz ?
I might just have to drill holes for one. But recoil isn't bad at all the gun is around 20lbs.

Here are a few pics of a 338LM I had GAP build a few years back on a CZ550 to give you a reference, George used a modified USO tapered base, worked great.

Re: Base for cz ?
So you had holes drilled into your action? Also I think your the only other person iv seen with a 338 built on a cz.

Correct. It was a complete build starting with just the barreled action but the base was done at the same time

I guess I'll just have holes drilled and tapped for a base. But I would post a pic of my gun if I knew how to from a phone. I tried to make it look similar to cz's 338 lapua.

Re: Base for cz ?
Its a great action and well suited for the 338LM, but limited to aftermarket parts so it needs a little tweeking.
BTW, you can take pics on your phone and email them to yourself, you will still need a imaging host site such as photobucket, its free
