I would agree that CZ rings are the "cleanest" fit on CZ rimfires. Burris and Warne rings work well, hold zero, but often have a gap that makes them look not so good. But if you want a really clean...

Yeah, there is nothing "light" about the 550 action, it's as heavy-duty as they come. I expect in 100 years, there will be a lot of rebarreled 550 actions still shooting.
