Hmm, the 30mm scope does restrict your choice somewhat. Normally I'd recommend Burris Signature Rings, but they only fit 25mm scopes.

So you have Talley high rings here: https://www.talleymanufacturing.com/pro ... ail-setup/

And Warne medium rings here: https://warnescopemounts.com/product/73 ... ium-rings/

Or CZ medium rings here: https://www.winchesteraustralia.com.au/ ... -7000-01ND

Or here: https://www.cz-spare.parts/mount-cz-452 ... 30mm#tb1=2

I have Warnes on my Weihrauch, but the CZ rings look like a nice bit of kit. Both medium heights will fit the 56mm objective, but beware of different brands, as Leupold "high" rings are lower than Warne and CZ "medium" rings etc.


Thanks Flyer - very much appreciate all your help mate!

I'm a bit lost though, do I also need to buy ring bases separately or the rifle comes with them installed? I'm trying to find various photos of the rifle on the web but get mixed results.

They're ring mounts - you don't need anything else. The Weihrauch has an 11mm dovetail and the base of the ring-mount clamps on to it.

Just received my scope in the mail today.

I've got a quick question about eye relief/eye box on various premium scopes. Eye relief on my scope is ok and comfortable enough up to X9, however past X9 it' kind of difficult to 'catch' the image, possible but difficult. Is this normal? Is it because lack of experience from my side or is it something that other scopes (Swarowski, Leupold etc) do much better? The scope is unmounted, will this problem be rectified once I mount it?

Unfortunatelly I have nothing to compare it with, the only other scope I looked through was some cheapo they provided during the firearm course and it was terrible in this regard imo. In my local firearm dealer they only stock budget scopes, so can't check it in person either..

Totally happy with the scope otherwise, not as bulky/heavy as I expected it to be at all, definitelly happy with my 56mm choice, just concerned about eye relief on higher magnifications a bit. Still can return it and get something else, however it doesn't make much sense if other scope if going to perform similarly in this area..

I'm sure it will be fine once you mount it and get consistent head position on the stock. :drinks: Wait until ya crank it right up and start seeing ya heart beats through it :D

Not sure why it is so but I was using a 25x setting on a mates rpr the other day and had a lot of trouble getting a full scope until I wound it back to 10x. I tend to lean my head a lot less than my mate (neck gets stiff very quickly due to playin rugby League when I was a teenager) and he didn't seem to have any problems getting a scope.

Your eye isn't lined up right, could be the height of the mounts v your head position the comb etc, that's why they make different height mounts etc to suit. It's all got to be lining up to see through em right :D

Islander7 - Your new rifle should arrive with a set of Weaver style bases & screws in the carton and should also have 4 tiny "filler" screws installed in the holes on top of the receiver. Both mine arrived that way. Perhaps Flyer will confirm. If you're using mounts that clamp to the dove tail, I would leave the filler screws in the receiver and put the supplied bases & screws away carefully. Mine appear to be a "Weihrauch Special" thread - Certainly not the standard 6/48 threads found on most rifles.

scopes are easy to mount and adjust.once on at a comfortable distance I would set up a 3 foot target at 25 metres and shoot 3 into it cleaning after every shot and see where they are going then set the rifle as solid as you can on bullseye and adjust your scope to the actual point of Impact and you should be close at longer ranges I would set a hornet at 100 metres not sure what others may advise.And yes we are going to get 20 pages on this topic

What's with the strange cheek weld and massive eye relief on that scope DB?
The back of my scope is about one-inch forward of the back of the pistol grip on the RPR.

Length of pull looks short, but that could just be the pic.

The eye relief is still very long, need to move the scope mounts forward until the cheek is on the cheek rest. The exit pupil gets very small at higher magnification and head position becomes critical.

I'll have to check my box again, because I don't remember seeing any Weaver mounts in mine. My Sako A7 came with them, but not my Weihrauch, as far as I know. I do have the mounting holes with tap screws and thought of mentioning this, but I haven't used them so can recommend anything.

Yep as its not my rifle and I don't tend to shoot it off the shoulder (they're a bloody heavy bit of kit) very often it's not a problem .
We actually had to turn the comb around to get any cheek at all on it. All too bloody complicated for me so as I said I'll stick to my 3-9x.and leave the high.mags for those that want it!! :lol: :lol: :drinks:

Well dont let that put you off high power scopes though DB...if you ever wanted one, setting one up for yourself will be very different. :thumbsup:
As SCJ says, eye position is critical at the high end.

Just did a very non-scientific test/comparison of my new scope in low light situation - Meopta Meostar R1r 3-12X56mm.
Basically I setted up the scope ~60m from a shipping container on my property and tried to read some numbers written on a container (white letters on green background). I also tried to do the same using my old budget ($300 from ebay USA) binoculars Nikon Monarch 8.5x56mm with one eye shut.
In both cases (through Meopta scope that I set to 8.5X and Nikon binoculars 8.5X) I could not read the text any longer at exactly same minute 9:33pm. I moved 20m closer and was able to barely see the text again, after few more minutes the contrast faded away, again, at exactly same time for both.

I then directed both to the bush behind the container - contrast was pretty poor through Meopta, while I still could distinguish different branches via Nikon. Both were about same brightness however.

Slightly dissappointed to be honest, considering that these binoculars are budget model and this scope is often comparable to much more expensive models. There are numerous reports online that this scope is better optically than Z3 and just slightly behind Z5/Z6, S&B, Zeiss Victory etc. I trust those reports, and now glad that I didn't pay twice the price for other brands, because it wouldn't make any difference for my eyes most probably.

P.S. very unscientific I know. Maybe my eyes are poor enough to be able to distinguish the difference in optics and superiority of Meopta, who knows. I'm keeping the scope anyway, as I like it still and it's more than enough for my hunting needs anyway. It's just that I was prepared to be blown away by low llight performance and I wasn't after all :)

Heya stix it won't cause I want to start shooting at distance over the next year so I guess the lower mags won't be much chop at 500+.!!(hell i might even have to start going to the local range as 300+in safety isn't really doable at home until I clear more scrub and I'm not sure how I'll go with palaschmucks new laws.!! :unknown: :thumbsup: :drinks:

It's a good test technique I think.
My eyesight completely falls over without decent light.
Something else that plays a large role is whether you've just been staring at a computer, phone or TV, or if you've just come outside into sunlight a few minutes before. That's one reason why I go out well before sunup, so my eyes have completely settled by the time the dawn starts.

G'day Islander7 mate I have a Z3 and am very happy with it I shoot on moonlit nights quiet easily with heart-lung shots
on scrubbers with no fear of missing out to 200yds it has very good light capabilities in the moonlight and on a dark night I
could shoot till 7.30--8 pm most nights
It picks up stuff in the moonlight that my range finder won't
I've shot bulls from 65yds to 205yds on moonlit nights comfortably all heart/lung shot
When I bought the Z3 I think I paid $1400 or so but well worth it wouldn't part with mine

That's a bit surprising. It's unfortunate you don't have another scope to compare, because that would tell you if it's the scope or your eyes.

Doesn't that model Meopta have an illuminated reticle? Was it on when you tested?

Also, that one doesn't have any parallax adjustment, so if parallax is set at 100m, and you are trying to look at things at 60m at night, the scope was probably a little out of focus to begin with. Perhaps you should try at 100m or longer. That is the trouble with having no parallax - you can't always get a sharp picture close up unless you zoom right out to get better depth of field.

It doesn't surprise me at all! I've done plenty of testing of euro and cheaper offerings and there really was SFA diff in brightness in between any of them at last light. I was expecting to be able to use the euros without any added light source but it wasn't the case at all. :unknown:

Bladeracer, yes I spent whole night outside yesterday without looking at bright computer/phone screen etc, so my eyes were very well adapted to the natural twilight setting. Astronomy is my another hobby, so I know the importance of eye adaptation to the darkness before looking through scope.

I've decided to keep it for now at least. I'll try to get and test better optics (Swarovski etc) in the future. If I get blown away, I'll happily upgrade. My own conclusion now is everyone's eyes are different, and apparantly my eyes aren't that great after all, which is a bit disappointing :) I didn't believe this fact at first, but then I remembered that I've got a $20k hi-fi stereo system and I'm the only one (within my circle of friends and family) who are able to clearly hear difference/advantage in comparison to, say, $3k system.. so yes, we are all different.

Flyer, illuminated reticle was off, simply because it came to me with dead battery (ex-display unit). Yes it's got fixed parallax at 100m, however it has a focus ring, so you can get everything in focus at most distances.

Bigfella, I still will try to do a proper test with more expensive optics in the future, just to see for myself :)

After all the research I did I realised that I wanted a 'set and forget' scope. Even if it had parallax adjustment, I would have probably set it at 100m and never touch it again anyway.

I do have the mounting holes with tap screws and thought of mentioning this, but I haven't used them so can recommend anything.


If the bases aren't there, you're not missing anything - Mine are rubbish. The HW66JM even came with a Leapers UTG 3-9X40 scope in the box - Have it advertised on a couple of sites - Can't give it away!

I have both my scopes mounted using J&P delrin 11MM adaptors & Burris Signature zees.
