Full disclosure--I have virtually 0 experience with 22lr so I have little familiarity with it. Could be I'm doing everything wrong so take my opinions with the usual grain of salt. ; ) I bought what 22lr ammo I could find, which wasn't a whole lot. I tried Armscor, Aquila, Ely tenex and RS50 I can't really say which shoots better, because I'm still trying to figure how to hold the rifle steady for the shot. But I think I'm going to stick with the RS 50, I had a couple one-hole groups going before 1 or two flyers.
My "first blush" opinion is that CZ has hampered the potential of the rifle with two things that make it difficult for me, 1. the foreend is so narrow and rounded that keeping it steady in a front bag (my preferred way of shooting) is challenging for me (a bit like watching a ping pong match when using a scope level). Compounding that is 2. the trigger is to my tastes quite stiff; I find that the measured 2.5 lb pull feels like it's even heavier since it seems to have a hard break point, I feel like I'm pulling on a trigger more like 3.5 to 4 pound pull. Despite all that I can tell that the rifle can be exceedingly accurate if I could just work out those issues. Definitely have to fix the trigger thing--right now it feels like I'm driving a Ferrari that came equipped with a VW beatle engine.
I managed to get a borescope into the bore--it looks spectacular!
