as above. think i will be looking for a pic/weaver rail for a 22 european ( CZ?) dovetail. i know a domestic dimension will work if needed. +10 to +20 moa would be super. likely gonna set up a 200 yd/m rig.
rail for 22 dovetail

Contact Evolution Gun Works. They make rails for just about everything. Not sure if they do custom stuff, but worth a shot.
CZ's depending on model will be 3/8 or 11mm dovetail. As above Murphy Precision is top notch, there are also DIP and Area 419 rails.
got my cz dove tail to pic rail from area 419

If it has an 11mm dovetail then Accuracy International dove tail scope mounts will fit perfectly and they are available in many different MOA cants (0, 18, 45 degrees) and ring sizes (30mm and 34mm). I use them on my Sako's and Anschutz.
If the AI mount fits it's a great often overlooked option. I believe they also make a 28 MOA version. I'm sure the angle of the engagement matters as well, so it goes beyond just having the right width, especially for something that has no recoil lug. It's like the ARCA problem, it's not just the width of the rail, but the angles of the clamp have to fit the rail angles right or the holding force is compromised.
Everyone seems to love the 419 mount and in the end it's what I went with. With a .22 I'm sure it doesn't matter, but I'd like it better if it engaged at least one or two of the rail divots with a set screw as some of the other designs do. Over the years I've just seen too many things that only "clamp" on a rail slide/slip if they don't have a "recoil lug" If I had it to do over again I'd probably do the MPA version. It seems similar to the 419, but instead of a bubble level (that the scope blocks the view of anyway) they have a set screw that engages one of the rail divots. They also put a relief cut in the rear clamp which probably allows it to clamp a bit more evenly in the rear. The only "downside" to the MPA is it's 6061 vs 7075 for the 419.

In my experience, the AI dovetail mount will clamp on to the dovetail just fine, and will handle the recoil of 22lr and 22wmr (the mount is solid and will not move once clamped onto the receiver dove tail mount (holding force is not compromised).
