Picatinny rails

Picatinny rails for CZ rifles give your rifle a universal mounting interface for optics, rings, and accessories—rigid, repeatable, and widely compatible.

Compatible CZ platforms

  • CZ 600 series (modern receiver footprint)
  • CZ 457 (popular rimfire platform)
  • Legacy: CZ 455, CZ 452, and older Brno Combo / ZKM models

Why Picatinny?

  • Universal interface: one rail standard supports a wide range of rings, red dots (with bases), magnifiers, and night/thermal devices.
  • Rigid, repeatable zero: cross-slot design resists shift under recoil and allows easy optic swaps.
  • Future-proof: change optics or mounts without altering the rifle.

How to choose the right rail

1) Match your rifle & receiver

Select a rail made for your exact model (CZ 600, 457, 455/452, Brno Combo/ZKM). Older rifles often use receiver dovetails—choose a rail that clamps to the dovetail or screws to the receiver as specified by the maker.

2) Pick the cant (MOA)

  • 0 MOA: general use / typical hunting distances.
  • 20 MOA: adds elevation range for longer-distance zeroing.

3) Length & material

  • Rail length: short/light for compact scopes; extended for flexible eye relief or clip-on devices.
  • Material: 7075/6061 aluminum keeps weight down; steel maximizes stiffness and thread strength.

Installation basics

  • Degrease rail, receiver threads, and screws; apply Loctite threadlocker.
  • Torque to the manufacturer spec in a criss-cross pattern; witness-mark screws and recheck after your first range session.
  • Confirm screw length and pitch for your receiver (no bolt or barrel interference).

Tip: After mounting the rail, choose rings or a one-piece mount that fits your scope’s tube diameter and objective size to achieve proper eye relief and bolt-handle clearance.
