I'm curious why all the other CZ 457 models are available in country, but this one you have to special order. Haven't had real great experiences with special orders. Seems like it would be one of the better selling models in this line up, far better than some of the other more obscure, niche models I see in stock just about everywhere. Has two extremely popular features, a heavy barrel, and an all weather stock, and it's probably cheaper than most of the wood stocked models to boot. Just saying...
