Overview
This scope base is built for CZ457 owners who want a secure optic mounting solution with added forward positioning room. It slides onto the dovetail, clamps down with consistent pressure, and uses a machined rear recoil lug as a mechanical stop. The 15 MOA cant supports scope setup for longer-range dialing, while the built-in level and included 2.5mm wrench add practical value during installation. Finished in Type III black hardcoat anodizing and adding about 1/2 inch of height to the CZ dovetail, it is a straightforward choice for a rifle that sees serious use.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Adds 15 MOA of cant, so it is a deliberate setup choice rather than a neutral mounting base.
- Raises the optic by about 1/2 inch over the CZ dovetail, which may affect cheek weld and ring height selection.
- Installation depends on proper clamp-screw torque; the included 2.5 mm wrench helps, but the base still needs careful setup.
- Designed specifically for the CZ457 dovetail, so it is not a universal scope base for other rifles.
