KenatiCZ Model 3 - based on Montana barreled action
I hope there's not another post on this one that I missed (search function is down).
At any rate, I spoke with CZ this morning on the phone after seeing an ad for their new Model 3 in the WSM chamberings.

I was surprised to find out that it is an American made gun. Montana Rifleman is supplying their barreled actions and a stock making company from Missouri is producing their black walnut stocks (unbedded).
Does anyone have any more information about this?
The two dealers I called have not been able to even order them yet, but are anxiously awaiting their availablity.

cummins cowboyyeah it sounds like one hell of a rifle. the only problem is no one has ever actually held one in their hands. From what I have heard is MRC has had problems with suppliers that build componets for the actions as some here have had trouble getting their actions in a timely matter. It is kinda a disappointment, I bet CZ is also getting upset as it seems like they have been trying to get these out for like a year. I would like to see CZ either chamber standard short action calibers in the model 3 or make their own actions for 308 class of cases. I have a suspicion that the CZ model 3 will likely never get off the ground cause MRC has had nothing but delivery problems for the last 2 years, it sounds like they are never going to get the problems worked out.
