My CZ experience is limited to seeing the weapons at the range and the targets they've shot at, so I'm not your guy to give you a thorough compare and contrast between it and a TOZ 78, particularly since the only TOZ I've ever seen is my own. That said, however, my TOZ is in the same ballpark for accuracy as the CZs and definite step above my Marlin.Can you describe the shape of the notch between the CZ and the TOZ 78? Is it accuracy or fit & finish or a bit of both. I've had my eye on the TOZ 78 in theory for a while now but have yet to encounter one in the flesh. Is it much less accurate than the CZ?
Did you get yours from Classic and if so how was the transaction?
He lists them for about $130. That seems to be an excellent deal and the lowest price I've seen anywhere considering it comes with 4 mags. At what price point would the TOZ 78 start becoming a poor value proposition?
I ask becasue there's a gunshow in town tomorrow. I haven't seen one at the past couple of shows but if I ran into one at $170 is that too much? $180?? More? Less?
He also has the model 99 for under $200 which is extremely interesting IMO?
I did get mine from Classic Arms - just before they dropped the price . I've ordered from those guys twice and I'd not hesitate to recommend them. Very friendly, quick shipping, and, as you can see, their prices are pretty good.
As far as price goes, if somebody was holding my TOZ 78 for ransom, considering that I paid about $180 for it with shipping and FFL transfer, I'd pay at least that and maybe up to $200 to get it back. Like rockstar.esq, I'm falling in love with the rifle and would certainly keep it over some of my more expensive firearms if forced to choose.
It's telling to me that I've yet to hear of anyone really disappointed with the TOZ 78, hence my strong recommendation.
