Good Points
Very light and well built.

Bad Points
Trigger from the box is cack, fitted a Brooks trigger kit and now its 'OK' but nowhere near as good as my Sako finnfire varmint, but I could buy three cz's for the cost of one Sako!

General Comments
I have a 17 hmr 16" carbine in Left Hand bolt, my first in this calibre, I thought buy a cheap rifle first, then go on to an Anschutz 1717 if it was any good. Guess what the CZ stays, it's very very accurate, I can hit stones the size of a tennis ball from 155 yards (Laser measured) every time from a bipod. Not possible with .22lr, even a good one like mine.

I do however use a decent scope Leupold VX3 6>20x50 long range target with varmint ret. This rifle is also very handy even with a SAK mody on I can wield it inside my 4x4 with ease.

My Sako is going, I am getting another CZ LH in .22lr, only prob is that I will have to get it cut down as the LH is only available in 21", also will get another trigger kit, and replacement hex drive screws.
