I bought my first Czech rifle in 1970. I still have it. It was originally a ZKK 602 in .375 H&H, it is now a .500 Jeffrey. Some objectionable features have been corrected: the "backwards" safety has been replaced by a three position Model 70 style one and the "Weatherby" style stock has been replaced by a more subdued CZ 550 version, but the basic action remains unaltered.

Since then, I have owned a series of M21 and 22 rifles and several ZG 47's, plus one ZKK 600, and several 601's and 602's. Other than the safeties, which I find objectionable, and in some cases the stocks, I find them to be well designed and made. I find the flat bolt handles on the 21 and 22 series to be a step backward from the superior ZG47 bolt handle, as far as scope mounting is concerned, but the small ring receiver and the safety are an improvement. Most of the other rifles have had the safeties replaced before I acquired them.

This half stocked carbine in 6.5X57 is a particular favorite of mine:
