Cz Centrefire

[hargreavesheber 93]

As I have just been granted a 22-250 centrefire and in the process of choosing one, I was wondering why you hear lots of good things about CZ rimfire and a lot of shooters own one, as I do in the .22 50th Anniversary Edition. Yet there are very few CZ Centrefire rifles about or should I say you very rarely hear any mention of them....

 

Are CZ capable of making a centrefire as good as their .22 and HMR? Or not as the case may be? As I'm wondering is this the reason I've not heard anything much about them...

 

I really like everything about my .22 rimfire! And was wondering if it was worth looking into a centrefire version of the CZ.

 

Has anyone any thoughts on this or indeed own one with a first hand opinion of this rifle.?

 

Many thanks

I shoot a cz in 22 hornet and to be fair it has done me proud. It,s my kind of rifle nothing flashy but never missed a beat and have shot all sort of ammo through it

Another great rifle is the zastava range. I have just got one in .22-250 and love it especially like the mini mauser action

The CZ 527 is a legendary bolt action.

 

Every bit as reliable as the rimfires

 

I've had a few.

And another for the 527.

Don't know about the 250

But my hmr cz and 22lr performs well in the 452

Cz are a quality eastern block manufacturer of firearms in general from military weapons and pistols like the cz75 all the way into the centre fire rifle range and unlike many other brands theyve got they're fingers in more than one pie

For me they will always be one of the top workhorses out there,rim or center fire I have had a few 22 rimfires in my time, 222 center fire and currently have the 22 hornet,but never heard a bad thing about the bigger calibers either, and when I have seen them I have always had a good look at them and they seemed spot on,it is a valid point no one ever seems to do reviews on them, I think the other manufactures try and keep a lid on them a little bit,to protect there market share,

Agree with all the above, and if you are going to have a .22 hornet the 527 is the number one choice, a mate of mine has a .222 and it is very accurate, the .22-250 will be good, you cant go wrong with a CZ.

[hargreavesheber 93]

We'll it does sound promising for the CZ. You hear a lot about Tikka, Remington and such like guns but as said not many people seem to care for the Centrefire CZ. I've spoken to many gun shops this last week and not one of them has a great deal to say about CZ Centrefire rifles. I'm not big on names or whether it has a extremely smooth bolt action. As long as it does

[hargreavesheber 93]

Sorry. .... was saying as long as it looks nice to me and does the job in hand I'm not bothered about much else.

 

Thanks folks

I assume the CZ CFs have the controlled feed bolt mechanism like their RF siblings? Same as the Winchester 70, the mechanism certainly seems to produce reliability judging by popular opinion.

[celticrusader 78]

The problem is with cf is that in its design and what they're used for, the other manufacturers are preferred due to over produced quality and the workmanship that goes into a more lavish product and as this is used predominantly here in the UK the upper end of the scale will always be what's considered the brands to have and mediocre or budget quality guns are generally frowned upon by the elite.

 

As you can see in the US they don't have the same outlook and are quite easily willing to argue the fact and buy more readily available rifles at an affordable price which are just as capable and as accurate and reliable but may not be as higher end as the fussy people who predominantly reside here in the UK you know who you are.lol

Hi there all

I got myself a cz 550 in .243 with lux stock its a excellent rifle

My mentor has got the same but with scandnavian stock he bought it 14 years ago and it doesnt feel any older than mine.

Try the older models, (527/ 550/ 600 the newer yr2000 onward models just don't seem as good a quality, & from the largest arms manufacturer in the world (Cz Im told) A general good farmers cab gun, as said nowt fancy , does what it says on the tin.
