HHMMMMM I want one. I,m keen on a 50 cal fun gun and the CZ is the best value option. When are you going to shoot it? Will it just be a fun gun or will it be for hunting? How many rounds does the magazine hold" Sympathy please ,I have champagne tastes and beer budget | |||

Tongo Nice looking rifle. A friend of mine has a 375 CZ, it shoots very good at 300 yards on paper, and even at 415 yards on steel. Keep us posted on how she shoots. DOUBLE RIFLE SHOOTERS SOCIETY | |||

Bed it, cross bolt it and fix the safety. It sure is pretty to start with, though. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

Thank you for the feed back. I do not have any ammo yet. The ammo is still on order with A-Square. When I placed the order with CZ, I specifically asked for a 22 inch Barrel. I hate long barrels on DG rifles. Cannot wait to shoot it. I eventually plan to reload some day. | |||

Tongo How much did you pay for the rifle with the special optional 22" barrel and fancy wood ? Cheers, André Always always use enough... GUN & KNIFE | |||
|
| one of us |
The wood is standard. Price was $1850.00. | |||

Tongo, Congrats that is a nice boomer you got there! My friend has one that is almost done - on a P14 though. JP | |||

That is a beauty. After you shoot it a time or two and you want to sell it let us know. I might just need to take it.  Although cartridge selection is important there is nothing that will substitute for proper first shot placement. Good hunting, "D" | |||

Perhaps I am just seeing it wrong, but to me, that stock looks like it has a TOUCH more drop than the CZ american.... that would be wicked cool, as I am an iron sight shooter for big bores jeffe opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

Tongo -- great rifle! Can't wait to hear how it shoots. When do you think that you'll get your ammo so that you can post a report?! "Ignorance you can correct, you can't fix stupid."

I should have the ammo sometime next week. By the way, what is everyone's opinion of CH4 reloading dies? | |||
|
| one of us |
CH4 dies are cheaply made and you can tell just at first glance. Quality control doesn't seem to be that good. I've never had problems with RCBS dies for all reloading. A few years ago, I had some issue with the sizing die on my 375 H&H and they made it right with a new one w/o charge. RCBS is pricey but you pays for what you gets. In your case, you may find a problem as far as availability, call Huntington's and find out. Lo do they call to me, They bid me take my place among them in the Halls of Valhalla, Where the brave may live forever. | |||

RCBS dies are about $250 or so more than the CH4D dies. I bought a set of both in .505 and returned the RCBS dies, keeping the CH4D's. Did not see enough difference to justify the price for me, but every one is different | |||

That is a great looking gun. I didn't see what was paid for the special 22" barrel - Does CZ have a price list for their custom shop? | |||
|
| one of us |
When I placed the order for the rifle, I asked for a 22 inch barrel. No extra charge. | |||

Nice gun | |||
