This looks awesome, cant wait to get one! Do CZ magazines also come in a straight design ? I personally dislike the curved/banana mags

Maybe I'm just out of the loop, although I am aware that as many non-restricted rifles there are the better, but what is the point of building a rifle that looks so similar to the VZ58?

Is this one supposed to be more accurate? what was behind the push to make this? I'm just curious.

I believe the original motive was to make the rifle with a solid and reliable picatinny rail on top for mounting optics. Thus, the name. CZ 958 Hunter.

Well, there are lots of us that love the look and feel of the VZ58, but would like the option of a solid optics mount on them. Being able to us the plethora of aftermarket accessories for the 58 platform is also a bonus, to allow people to personalize the rifle to their own tastes and needs. Magaziness are cheap and plentiful and at the end of the day, these rifles still harken back to a model that is built on reliability, functionality and in a great caliber.

I don't know if these are going to be any more accuracte than the originals, but truthfully the accuracy out of the 858 was nothing to sneeze at and now with being able to mount a good optic solidly on them, it should improve the accuracy potential of them. The hunter should make a good all around 300 yard coyote and deer rifle, as well as a lightweight "truck" or carry rifle.
 
I dunno, I was thinking of saving for a Mini-30, But, if this is going to be non-restricted and under 1,000 dollars, I think I mite get it!!
Is the receiver redesigned, so it can't be converted into full-auto in anyway?

Converted TO full auto wasn't the problem. Converted FROM full auto was. According to the RCMP.

You guys need to educate yourselves.

Newly designed VZ58 rifle to meet RCMP specs to the letter. New semi-auto receiver w/rail and will accept vz58 accessories and mags which are plentiful. Please don't buy one and leave them for us who understand this ;)

ON serious note though I think that the idea is that without the front sight base etc, it looks a little more like the Valmet Hunter style, a little less tactical etc.

I just hope you guys do decide on still using the rear iron sight on the tactical. If the rail interferes with the rear sight the just cut a radius line down the Centre of the rail.

Hey Grumpy, any word as to why the receiver is milled out above the trigger?

That makes it impossible to retro fit FA parts, assuming a person could find or make them. A person would have to mill out the internal receiver to have space to fit the parts and when that is attempted the mill would break through the receiver and render it useless! The ease of conversion to FA is a consideration with all new imports.
