Thread: Cz512 experience

The tac is 1500 a piece. I have shot and killed little with it, the cleaning part is difficult and don’t come in 20” barrels.

I am aware of the extra work in cleaning it, I wouldn't have thought the 16.5 inch barrel would make much difference on a .22 cal magnum or LR ?

It does make a difference between the two barrels in 22mag when out to 200m. Was thinking of getting a tac version but hasn’t seen any price dropped.

would be interesting to know does it just affect the hold over due to a drop in speed with the shorter barrel or does it effect the accuracy as well ?

I've chronied one versus an 18 inch barrelled semi and a bolt action. The shorter barrel gave 4% lower velocities than the cz but the bolt action velocities were 8% faster than the cz, so you loose quite a bit of the cartridges potential with the semi action. I guess it's not surprising when you see the little meteor shower out the ejection port when spotlighting.
As to the trigger it's OK a bit spongy but not the worst, I honestly done know why they aren't better. H&K 30 years ago had a 2 stage trigger in their excellent 300 22 mag that was target grade compared to modern ones so it can be doneeded.
