As to CZ rifles--I agree they really do shoot--a bit on the crude side but that can be taken care of by a gunsmith... I have 2--both in smaller calibers, but both shoot extremely well with factory ammo-- this past summer I probably shot over 500 prairie dogs with my .204 caliber CZ varmint model with its set trigger--if feeds horribly however, if a p-dog is dumb enough to give up a shot at 250 yards or less--there is a pretty good chance he will not survive the day with that rifle..

Have another in a rimfire that also shoots like a house of fire--however I and several of my friends have had problems with the ejectors within a short time of purchasing them--had to take them in and get fixed--this has happened on 3 guns I know of...

I firmly believe that in MOST cases you get what you pay for in both optics and firearms.. the CZ gives a o.k. product at a lower end cost which makes them quite popular in most circles...
