New Rifle Dilema (CZ For Sure, But...)

[Sporting_Man]

The question is not dumb. In FS rifle (at least CZ), there is still a floating barrel, by design. There is no contact anywhere. Now, if the wood is warped, or something, it presses naturally to the very end of the tube, which is bad for accuracy.

I really like the looks of the full length stock. I have never seen a cz, but always like the ruger model that had it.
Would imagine a synthetic full length would allow for more accuracy with extreme weather swings, but would never look as good as the all wood.

That is why CZ came up with a new Carbine with Kevlar stock (same hardware as FS, with sporter stock). Looks like Ruger Alaskan, just a little sleeker.

mine has 3 points of contact so guess it is not completely "floated" even though it is touching a screw that goes into the front sight assembly the bareel is still floating ast he contact can neither push up or down on the barrel. it is simple touching the screw in a lateral fashion. my cz shoots better than i can thats for sure. the reticle i have on top doesnt exactly warrant tight groups either.  My wife is bad ass with her CZ. she has a CZ 550 LUXUS(nice wood) 30.06 and she can shoot like this all day. even with the cheap prostaff on top.

Lux is what they call it here. I wish I can find something like that. I would rather have this 9.3 mauser in Lux config, than in FS (I am a big guy, so long/er rifle is not a problem to handle)... There is only one caliber available in Lux configuration - 7mm Rem Mag. I used to have that one too, but sold it to a good friend who liked it so much... and I didn't appreciate the caliber. 
I have my CZ American in 30-06 glass bedded. I did not need that, but I am glad I did it. This rifle is a tack driver. Capable of printing clover leaves all day long. I hope that the new FS gets there too.

the butt stock measurements of mine and my wife's were the same as far as shouldering measurements go. I had mine shorted by the students of the buchsemacher schul ferlacher in austria, but only the barrel was shorter when we got them.   The grips on them definately appreciate large hands. before i moved my trigger back i could not properly use the set trigger and even the regular trigger wasnt fitting me well.

[Sporting_Man]

I like them because of those big grips. I could not shoot Ruger Hawkeye, because that grip was curved and somehow smallish in my hand and sometimes it would hurt from recoil...
I like those buttstocks on Lux and FS, with sharp angled cheekpiece. Some people think they are uncomfy, but I think that they are beautiful and fit me well for sure...
 Enough said, damn it, I am going to order this rifle tomorrow!

That is one SWEET looking gun.

I had never looked at CZ before. Well I will be now. Thanks for the post.

check out their pistols too lol

[Sporting_Man]

Their pistols are top-notch weapons...

Brno 602 (former name brand for what is today's CZ) was THE rifle in Africa, and still is (now it is CZ Safari Magnum)...

I have 2 CS 550's one in 6.5 ( Kevlar stock ) and a 270. Great guns for the money

Go with the full stock in 9.3 for the "kewl factor"

[Sporting_Man]

Ribka, those two are fairly similar calibers.. I might get the 270 in a distant future. My Win 70 Sporter was that, but I didn't like it... Should have picked CZ American in 270Win last year for $400 used (like new)...

this would be a pig killing machine. The bolt handle is a brass boar.
