Just some FYI, my CZ carbine had a few issues you may want to know about.
The firing pin spring isn't strong enough to pop Wolf primers reliably. CZ sent me a new spring but I'd say one in about 20 rounds still won't fire the first time.
Also it had a feeding problem. The last couple of rounds would somehow get tilted skyward in the mag. They said to send in the mags, and they gave me two new ones that did the same thing. After a few months of frustration I took a close look at the mag itself and discovered the case rim was getting hung up on these poorly machined cuts in the back of the mag. I filed them down inside, now it feeds like a champ.
The action takes time to wear in. There's a sharp corner where the handle has to fit into the action when locked down, and eventually it will round out for smoother cycling.
Then there's the aforementioned bolt handle/scope bell issue.
It's pretty much the same as all the other various CZ guns I've had. Rough from the factory, takes time to wear in.
But other than that, it gets taken to the range more than my Saiga conversion, if that says anything. Fun little rifle.
