BuddyK-9CZ 3 God or Bad?
Have the opportunity to purchase a CZ Model 3 with the Montana Rifle Co. action in 300 WSM. What's the scope on this rifle?

JameisterThe Montana Rifle Company-built CZ3 got a bad writeup in Outdoor life when they first came out.
A year later I bought three barrelled actions from MRC at a closeout price, as CZ sales must have been slow. I had to do some cleanup on them, but after placing into accurate innovations stocks, they shot OK. I put one into a mcmillan synthetic stock.
Still have one for sale...
rifled actions in both stock makers shoot about the same: inch plus with factory loads, and never tried any handloads for them.
I saw a CZ3 in walnut and SS at a gunshop a few months ago, new with tags, for 579. not a great stock job, but for the price it was tempting.
THe CZ3 can be a cheap way into a CRF action in SS, if you want a short magnum size action.
do not know why they have not done better on sales...
