Warne are good rings.  I have a couple of sets on some various rifles and really like them. I have replaced all my tikka rings with Warnes.  Also had a set on a 550 at one time.  Also just got some QD rings from the place listed below.  Great guy to work with.  Will be doing business with him again.

So good, the hold my scope and it does not move unless I let it. ::)

They are very good steel rings.  Would not be afraid to use them on any rifle I ever had or would get.  I know many have had Burris rings, I must be the odd one because I have never had a set of Burris rings........

I have had great results with Burris and Leupold rings :)
Matte scopes get Leupold rings and gloss get the Burris.

I'm not saying Burris are bad. I just want to lower a scope.

So found those ring and thought of giving them a try.

Try this, straight from CZ USA.  It gives ring heights by make, model, and p/n: https://czusamedia.s3.amazonaws.com/files/Ringmounts_list_.pdf

I have Burris rings on my 550, 527, and 453.  Their 550 rings are shorter than CZ, but their 527 rings are essentially the same height.  Their 3/8" dovetail rings for rimfires and air rifles fit CZ American models 452-453-455s, but not the 11mm models. 
I can say the Burris is quality product, well made and beautifully finished.  They use Torx & or Allen fasteners instead of slot head screws, although some catalog pics may not be up to date and show that.  Optics Planet and Midway, among others, usually sell their 527 & 550 rings for around $45.

Interesting link, thanks for posting it.  What/Who are EAW rings?

Originally FedEx had it to be delivered on Friday but got it today!  ;D Very Happy.

Initial impression. I'm liking Warne ring. I actually have an issues with Burris rings. Scope doesn't sit well, there's about 2mm gap at the bottom.
Burris is sending me a replacement.

New bolt handle, not impressed. Looks like CZ just grind it a bit to clear a scope. I thought the handle will be a bit long then the stock. Same bolt.

Got a test fit right now. Med ring + new bolt = not touching the scope.
I'm going to test the old bolt. I think it wont be touching my scope.

Scope that I got is Minox ZA-5 2-10x40
