Yes it has the set trigger and now I need a really good scope.  Maybe Pops will buy me one.  Any suggestions?

I was thinking of a wider bell.  Maybe 50 mm.  Whats your opinion on the 40 mm?

Mine are the 40's and the glass just soaks up every little light. I have no complaints at all. My light fits perfectly on top of the 40, on the 50 you may have to tweek your light set up

With a good light on top you won't have any problems seeing with a 40 mm.  If you decide to buy the Zeiss and don't like it....  I'll buy it from you.

Of course.  Just like a car,  drive it off the lot and it depreciates 15%

Wow!  You must really like that scope.  Of course if I touch it the price is doubled.  Lol  :o :o :o :o :o :o

You are talking me into it.  Do you think the reticle is too thick?

Tim, 

Some of the scopes are going with a bigger ocular lens on their newer models.   I put a Nikon 3x9x50 on one of my CZs and it touched when you worked the bolt.   The gun dealer said it might be a problem with some of the leupolds also.   Even on my 40s you can hardly get a piece of paper between the bolt and scope when you extract a round.   

you are going to love that gun, they are accurate.

Scott, had the same problem with my Rem 600. I just swapped out the low rings with medium rings and the problem was solved.  May or may not work with different rifles and bolt styles.

Tim,  I have a CZ already set up with that scope.  Let me know if you'd like to see and shoot it.  You're not that far from me.   Maybe even use that as an excuse to do a little hunting !!!
