BRNO 21 H

Just bought a BRNO 21 H in 8mm Mauser. The rifle has what I think are dovetail front bridge and rear with a locking cut on the left bridge for a stud in the rear scope ring. Does this rifle take standard CZ 550 rings or something slightly different? Am not certain if 16mm or 19mm base would apply. Blue Book references post 1949 models with dovetail receiver as 20mm, so am SWAG that 19mm is the one.
The rifle has a butter-knife bolt handle with no cutout for slipping under a scope's rear bell. Should I be looking at medium or high rings? I plan on using a period scope, probably a Lyman or Kollmorgan with a fairly trim optic.
Any info on what the gun likes for reloads or adjusting the double set trigger appreciated.

I like the Lyman cast bullet 323470 with Unique for trigger time. I usually slow them down to work without the gas checks. All jacket bullets do well in military Mauser. 4895 or 3031 because it was cheap or I have lots.
