Underdog 2,337 Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Any news bud? U. Quote Link to post
walshie 2,804 Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Yes, plenty of news but no gun. i'm holding out for a new CZ. Edgars promised end of May, then June, then July. Apparently it will still be a "couple of weeks." My RFD is trying to talk me into a Ruger 77 instead as he can get one in in a week but they are £300 more than the stupid CZ. I'm sure it's worth the wait....or should i have considered another calibre? Quote Link to post

I was going to wait anyway as I've waited this long and to be honest another £300 on top for a gun that wasn't my first choice sticks in the throat a bit. What have you heard bad about the ruger?

Underdog 2,337 Posted July 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) They may be ok now but I recall hearing of some not being accurate at all. Some had bad barrels. Barrels with tight spots and there was one with a tight throat! I may be accused of talking nonsense and fair enough. There are lots out there that must be fine. I never heard of a problem from cz other than stock/barrel interaction. There is one modification I do recommend for the 527 action in hornet! U. Edited July 26, 2016 by Underdog Quote Link to post
walshie 2,804 Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 What modification mate? Quote Link to post

Underdog 2,337 Posted July 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 What modification mate? Being a Mauser action it should be operated muzzle up. If not and accidentally push feeds a round plus the hornet being a rimmed round the claw extractor may not ride over the rim of the now chambered round and if it gets stuck you need a rod next. It happened to me years ago so I shaped the bevel on the front of the claw so that it would if necessary ride over a chambered round. ? Quote Link to post
walshie 2,804 Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Shaping bevels? Sounds like a job for ......someone else. Good tip though. Cheers. Quote Link to post

courser 73 Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 I had to wait for nearly a year to get mine. When first ordered I was told two months, after two months I was told another two months, after that I was told that they (Edger Bros) could not give a date. On repeated enquiries I was told that CZ would/could not supply until they had a order of 100 units!!. Edger Bros had placed an order of, I think 9 units but they did not know if this order was the first of the 100 needed or that they had nearly made it to the 100. So, it could be a few more weeks or another 6 months. I too was offered a Ruger, but I wanted a CZ. I then saw one on Guntrader brand new from a gunsmiths down south at £100.00 over list price. I bought it. It went against the grain to pay over the odds, but "Needs must, when the devil drives" Moral being: keep trying and do not accept anything other than what you want. The CZ .22 Hornet ? Best rifle i have ever owned. 1 Quote Link to post
walshie 2,804 Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 I weighed up all the pros and cons and I've waited this long, so another few weeks won't make any difference. I want a CZ. I want new. There's no other choice unfortunately. I know if i went for second hand or a ruger I'd be kicking myself - especially when you see the price of ruger mounts. Quote Link to post
