I caint say for certain about now , but you're right about sloppy finishing touches several years ago .. My other Lott CZ was one of the first to come over the pond .. Back then , I knew of 2 375's and one 416 with split stocks before the first magazine was emptied .. Along with sevreal other minor ( here , major on a hunt ) issues ..

As a mater of habit , all mine are worked over not long after I get them .. CZ or any other brand ..

Short of spending 3-4 grand or more on a custom rifle , I think the CZ is the best foundation for the money to work from ..

One thing I like in the CZ Lott is , it's a 5+1 ..
