I've been looking for a new .22 rifle. I've looked at quite a few of them and I like the CZ Trainer the best, but the safety is backwards from the rest of my guns. (push forward for safe, back for fire). I know this may be a stupid question, but is there any way that it can be converted to a normal operating safety? (Push forward to fire). Thanks for your help. | ||

I don't know the answer, but a lot of the BRNO 602s were converted to work the "correct" way, so there's probably potential. Also, how much $$$ do you want to spend on the gun? The Trainer isn't very expensive. Can you justify 50% of the price of the rifle to "fix" the safety? For what it's worth, the safety issue is why I haven't bought a 452 in 22 Hornet. It's just backwards to everything else I own. LWD | |||

LWD: Thanks. That's exactly my thought. I wouldn't mind spending some $ on converting it. I really like the way it handles. It seems like a reasonably well built gun and it's a lot less money than a sako, remington, or winchester. I just not sure how much we are talking to convert it. Thanks. | |||

If you are in the Dallas Fort Worth area I can recommend a very good gunsmith. If not, good luck. This strikes me as advanced work and not for most. I don't have a feel for what it would cost. The guns do have a good reputation for accuracy. The CZ .17 HMR I had was the best 17 I've personally seen. Sold cuz the ammo was way to expensive for the quantity I shot. LWD | |||

Thanks for the info. LWD - I live in Kentucky. I think you're right, this is pretty advanced work, unless there is a conversion kit. I really like the looks of this gun, I still may have to buy it  | |||

I came home one day and during dinner my wife says "let's go to Gander Mountain and see if that rifle I like is still there". I said "ok..." as I didn't remember which gun she was talking about. Off we went and came home with one of the Trainers. We might have gotten a better deal at one of the local gunshops, but sometimes you have to strike when the iron is hot (or the wife WANTS to buy a rifle)  She only likes shooting iron sighted rifles and this one is a dandy. I'd agree 100% with Seafire2, it can be forgiven it's quirky safety because it's such a nice rifle. | |||

Those CZ's shoot like more expensive rifles. I have a CZ in a 22, 17HM2, and 17HMR and have learned to overlook this problem. I looked into "fixing" the saftey but could find a good conclusion. ddj The best part of hunting and fishing was the thinking about going and the talking about it after you got back - Robert Ruark | |||

Well, another way is not to use the safety. Pretend it's not there or remove it. Can't remember the last time I used my .22 safety and it is removed from my field .223 Either chamber empty with mag full, or one up with the bolt handle FULL UP. | |||
