Edited because I'm a twit.
CZ455 owners what mounts did you use with your 1" tubed scopes, and how's the bolt clearance? I have a Bushnell Engage 4-12x40 coming for mine and haven't decided which mounts to go with.

DeadPool,

Initially, I have gone the Talley CZ 30mm rings(Suit 11mm Dovetail), and as mine were to fit a 50mm objective, I went with the High rings.

Best guess is the bolt knob has about 3/4 cm clearance on the side of the scope.
I havent found the clearance between scope and bolt has been an issue; havent noticed it ever being a problem.

In the next week or so, I'll fit the 15MOA rail(Area 419), and then fit this scope with some 30mm Picatinny rings. Not sure if I'll get away with medium rings; I'll have to look at how far the rail extends, and whether medium rings will give enough clearance.

Attached gives you an idea of my setup with the Talley clamp rings.

It looks like all 455s have an 11mm dovetail

The bolt lift and scope clearance is a pretty common issue with the CZ. You'd be fairly safe if you went high mounts. I have a Bushnell rimfire with high mounts on my CZ455.
