Gents,

Good day!

I would like to scope a rim fire rifle CZ 452 lux - 22LR, and to have it with quick release mounts.
What I have noticed around - most quick release mounts on rim fire rifles are based on weaver rail attached to dove tail. (Like QRW Leupold systems)

So my first concern is: if I fit the weaver on a dove tail - is there a possibility for weaver to block my aim and view to mechanical sights when scope is removed?

My second concern is following:
When mounting a scope - I would like to have rear sight fixed and unremoved.

On some scopes - due to lenght of scope - the rear sight has to be removed - this I would like to avoid.

So, as I am open to suggestions, I would appreciate any useful advice on which combination base / mounts / scope / magnification to use in order to have quick release mounting system, with rear sights fitted when scope is removed.

Is there a possibility to have quick release mounts fitted on a dove tail, or it is always necessary to fit the weaver rail.

The purpose of the rifle is plinking, target shooting and bench rest shooting at 100 meters, and occasionally up to 200.

Many thanks for your input!
