Good Points: Light weight making it suitable for younger and smaller people. Small, making it convenient for hunting. Build quality generally good. Accurate - you'll put pellets in the same hole at 25 yards. Easily Adjustable cheek piece and butt makes it good to set up and adjust for the individual. Underslung rail for rests, bipods etc 60 shots before drop off becomes a problem. Availability of spares, every gun shop carries CZ or AA 200 parts. T200 shooting 11.6 Ft lbs with AA pellets, so factory set up looks good. Relatively inexpensive as new, plenty available second hand. Excellent value for money. If you want to run with open sights its OK, though I'm scoped with a 3-9 x 55 richter.
Bad Points: NO Safety, so be careful. May be to small for larger people, I'm 5'10" and its ok, bu taller people tend to find the shooting position cramped. Not much room for loading if you have low scope mounts. Bolt lever is rather cheap plastic - not expensive to change but it looks a bit tacky when fresh out of the box. Muzzle break with plastic mount for dioptre sight looks tacky too. The multishot magazine which I bought as an optional extra was not worth the money to buy or the time to fit. If you want multishot , consider the CZ 5 shot tray.
General comments: I went to this rifle because it is relatively light, accurate and tough. Ideal for HFT. Don't be put off by the short overall length, the barrel is set well back in the rifle making it as accurate as longer rifles that are loaded further forward. Although build quality is good; as new the trigger and bolt actions seem a little "gritty". After the first 1000 pellets they are freeing up and seem to have bedded in nicely. I normally fill to 200 bar and run down to half that with little depreciation on a 25 metre target. Approx 60 rounds.
