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

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.

Michael RobinsonBed it, cross bolt it and fix the safety.
It sure is pretty to start with, though.

Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer.
Lovely looking rifle. Is the 22" barrel standard?

Gringo CazadorThats the best wood I've seen on a CZ, that is a nice looking rifle. Please give us a report when you shoot it.
Billy,

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.

How much did you pay for the rifle with the special optional 22" barrel and fancy wood ?
Cheers,
André

The wood is standard. Price was $1850.00.

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

D HunterThat 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"
Cheers!
Good to see they are turning them out. The .505 Gibbs lives! Now where is mine ...
Now they need to turn out a lefty 404!

I would love to see a close up of the bolt face !!
19 May 2005, 15:28
jeffeossoPerhaps 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
Is there any chance of a real close up shot of the bolt face ??
20 May 2005, 06:30
Marc_StokeldI would love to see some pics of the feed rails as well, if it is not too much trouble.
Looking forward to hear what you think after shooting it!!
I have to keep asking.................................I am dying for pic of the bolt face
It is coming. Will post soon. I have a lousy camera.

Thanks heaps Tongo !!
Here you go PC.
Tongo same as my .585 Nyati on a Brno 602 which like your gibbs leaves little on the bolt face.
Nice FN

WhitworthTongo -- 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?!

By the way, what is everyone's opinion of CH4 reloading dies?

Marc_StokeldRCBS 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?
When I placed the order for the rifle, I asked for a 22 inch barrel. No extra charge.
