Thread: Cz512 experience

Accuracies pretty much same. But did not shoot the two in a same day couldn’t get much data. It’s a perfect gun for goat and turkey.

Fuck me. Couldn't help myself, despite the squishy trigger I brought one.

I find the trigger on my one surprisingly good. Mines the newer model where CZ moved away from their unusual 'safety' with the cross-bolt safety and bolt handle.

To be fair, maybe I'm being harsh. I'm only judging on the 22lr I had a play with the other day. Pick mine up this weekend.

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.

People tend to shoot more in 22lr, Just like the ruger the gun will foul up faster. id buy an ar22 .

Hi, Yes had two. Both extremely accurate with the target subsonic ammo I was using. Both retyurned under warranty and swapped out for a CZ455.

Both suffered from the same problem, failure to fully eject which caused one round in probably every 10 shots to get hung up in the action.

The NZ importers wouldn't believe me initially so took it back to retailer who experienced the same issue shooting down into their sand trap.
Second rifle arrived and we decided to test it before I left the store and buggar me if it didn't do the same thing. Didn't like sub-sonics at all. I was pissed as I really wanted a CZ semi.
