Have any of you experienced guys had anything to do with the cz512? I've done the normal Google research and seen both good and bad reviews, the bad mainly about the trigger but that looks to be on the earlier version. What's everyone's take on these?
I have a 512 22 mag , shoots very accurate. Love the wood stock.ammo not cheap so shoot Max 50r per range time.
I'm guessing the trigger is not to bad then if the price of ammo is your biggest concern. Mint, cheers for the feedback. I'm having serious ar withdrawls but dont want another 22lr.Quote:

Wood, running a nice scope also,doesn't look like it has done much work.
I am contemplating a tac even though it isn't as pretty as the wood stock version I am hoping the adjustable LOP on the tac might be a better fit for my large frameQuote:

Haha just wait a couple of months I'll probably sell you one cheap.
The tac is 1500 a piece. I have shot and killed little with it, the cleaning part is difficult and don’t come in 20” barrels.
I am aware of the extra work in cleaning it, I wouldn't have thought the 16.5 inch barrel would make much difference on a .22 cal magnum or LR ?Quote:

would be interesting to know does it just affect the hold over due to a drop in speed with the shorter barrel or does it effect the accuracy as well ?Quote:

Fuck me. Couldn't help myself, despite the squishy trigger I brought one.
I find the trigger on my one surprisingly good. Mines the newer model where CZ moved away from their unusual 'safety' with the cross-bolt safety and bolt handle.Quote:

I guess it's not surprising when you see the little meteor shower out the ejection port when spotlighting.Quote:

People tend to shoot more in 22lr, Just like the ruger the gun will foul up faster. id buy an ar22 .
Hi, Yes had two. Both extremely accurate with the target subsonic ammo I was using. Both retyurned under warranty and swapped out for a CZ455.
Both suffered from the same problem, failure to fully eject which caused one round in probably every 10 shots to get hung up in the action.
The NZ importers wouldn't believe me initially so took it back to retailer who experienced the same issue shooting down into their sand trap.
Second rifle arrived and we decided to test it before I left the store and buggar me if it didn't do the same thing. Didn't like sub-sonics at all. I was pissed as I really wanted a CZ semi.
