Description
The Warne Maxima 1" Medium QD rings solve one of the trickier problems CZ owners run into: finding a quality mount for that integral 19mm dovetail. There's no base to buy and no rail to add. These vertically split steel rings clamp directly onto the receiver's dovetail on CZ 550 and CZ 557 rifles, giving you a clean, low-fuss setup that holds a 1-inch scope tube at a medium height. That medium height clears most objective bells up to around 42mm while keeping your optic nice and close to the bore.
What the QD System Does on the Maxima CZ Rings
The big draw here is the indexable quick-detach lever. You can pull your optic off the rifle for travel, cleaning, or to switch back to irons, then snap it right back on with the return-to-zero guarantee holding true. A lot of CZ 550 owners run this exact setup specifically because the rifle's iron sights are too good to give up. Shoot open sights up close, clip the scope back on for longer shots, and your zero stays honest. The levers index too, so once the rings are tightened you can pull the lever out, rotate it to whatever position keeps it out of your way, and let it snap back.
Built to Handle Recoil on the 1" Medium Dovetail Rings
These are solid steel through and through, and the CZ models use an integrated recoil management system that locks the ring into the dovetail for positive engagement. Each ring grabs your scope with four Torx T-15 socket cap screws for even clamping pressure all the way around the tube. That combination is why reviewers mention mounting heavy glass and still getting repeatable groups at distance after popping the optic on and off.
Warne builds these in the USA and finishes them in a matte black that keeps glare down in the field. For CZ 550 and 557 owners who want a dependable, tool-free optic setup without hunting down a hard-to-find base, this is about as straightforward as it gets.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rifles do these Warne 1" Medium QD rings fit?
They're machined for the 19mm integral dovetail found on the CZ 550 and CZ 557 receivers. The rings seat directly onto the receiver's dovetail, so there's no separate base or rail to buy. Note that they are not designed for the CZ 457 or the 16mm dovetail on the CZ 527.
Do these rings really return to zero after taking the scope off?
Yes, the Maxima quick-detach system carries Warne's return-to-zero guarantee. Owners regularly report pulling the optic for iron-sight work or travel and snapping it back on with no meaningful shift in point of impact. The indexable lever lets you remove and reattach by hand with no tools needed.
What size scope tube and objective will these hold?
These rings are built for a 1-inch scope tube at a medium height of 0.925 inches. The medium height clears objective bells up to roughly 42mm on most setups. If you're running a larger objective or want a bit more clearance, a high-height version may suit you better.
What tools do I need to install the Warne Maxima CZ rings?
Each ring uses four Torx T-15 socket cap screws to clamp around the scope, so a T-15 Torx driver is all you need. Warne recommends tightening the ring screws to a maximum of 25 in/lb on dry threads without any thread-locker. The quick-detach levers themselves tighten to the dovetail by hand, no tools required.
