Step 1: Determine whether your rifle is a CZ858 Tactical rifle
6. The left side of the CZ858 rifle is marked with the serial number, model designation, caliber and manufacturer’s logo on the left side of the receiver above the trigger. The model designation must be one of the following:
CZ858 Tactical-2P
CZ858 Tactical-2V
CZ858 Tactical-4P
CZ858 Tactical-4V

7. The rear sight block is located forward of the receiver (action). The relevant proof marks are present on the left side of the rear sight block just below the rear sight.
Step 2: Determine whether your rifle would be an affected model
Generation #1 (Unaffected)
8. If the markings on the left side of the CZ858 rifle sight block follow the pattern below, the CZ858 rifle would be unaffected by the proposed legislation and would remain a restricted or non-restricted firearm. The “she” code for the manufacturer (Ceská Zbrojovka Uherský Brod) is visible at the upper left of the sight block. The military property mark (crossed swords) is to the right. Below those markings are the modern Czech Republic proof mark and date, in this case, 2005. A 2006 date is also possible.

Generation #2 (Unaffected)
9. The markings on the left side of the second generation CZ858 rifle sight block, illustrated in figure 3 below, differ in that the original manufacturer’s markings have been removed. The upper portion of the left side of the sight block has been machined, removing the surface metal where the code for the manufacturer and the military property mark would have been located. The machined space is now occupied by the modern proof mark and date, in this case, 2006. Note the machined space occupies approximately half the surface of the left side of the rear sight block.

That is right from the upstanding gentlemen at the RCMP so basically anything 2007 and above will be affected
