The problem IMO with the CZ FS rifles is they are dead heavy and handle like a tamping rod with a brick tied to the end of it. Just my personal tastes but such a Stutzen should be light and handy. The 6.5 of mine became a 9.3 to lighten the barrel {and because the 6.5 in a CZ is poorly designed and doesn't feed correctly, see posts above; extractor poorly designed and magazine as well} but even with the bigger hole the gun was left too heavy. On I went with hoof rasp and hack saw and little by little the thing morphed into a superbly handy light carbine. Took a number of attempts, but it worked and now at 16" the thing still runs a 285 grain bullet faster than my 24" 9.3x57's did and handles darn near like a pistol. It's my bear gun and makes keeping up with the hounds as realistic as it can be.

It is the reason why I sold my 9.3x57's, tho I must say, a Husqvarna M46 with barrel chopped to 16 and with a little peeled off the stock would make a really sweet handling and very lightweight rifle, somewhere just at 6 lbs or maybe even a tad lighter.
