Anyone still buying CZ anymore?

I guess I have a different perspective... I wouldn't put off enjoying any gun that you want to enjoy right now... You're literally allowing the government to dictate what you will or will not purchase and enjoy. That almost seems like one more way they're winning.

Lookin' at the umbrella... I don't think CZ USA had any input, control, or were even consulted. Colt is under CZ group, yes... If we are to go with a family tree analogy everybody is going off like it's the equivalent of a 3 year old asking mommy permission to play on the swing... This is more like a 42 year, old second cousin with a drug problem that you haven't seen in 14 years just committed armed robbery... Seems a little absurd to forfeit your enjoyment of a rifle you've been wanting because of the actions of someone else?

Also... Colt has always danced to their own tune, and have never respected the civilian market (in my opinion). They lap up government money left right and center, and I'm at a loss for how anyone is surprised at all.

If we were to place bets 5 years ago on who was going to take the contract, I think 9 out of 10 people in the industry would have put money on Colt Canada.

I haven't followed for a while but, has CZ done a statement lately saying they weren't involved? Last I remember, they gave a very vague response and circled the questions. Should have been a two liner that said something like "No we are not in any capacity involved, would never be involved with a lying dictatorship government." They didn't do that. I wonder why.

I have a CZ457 MTR and it shoots CCI SV very well.

I like the rifle (as I like all my CZ firearms) but I don't like CZ assisting the Canadian government in disarming its citizens.

Suffice to say I will be looking for something else moving forward.

So I had my eye on buying a very accurate rimfire in 2026. My Ruger 10/22 is good but I'm at the point I'd like to upgrade.

I had thought a CZ457 would scratch that itch but with the gun "buyback" fiasco and the fact that Colt Canada (of which CZ is the parent company) took the contract to destroy the "buyback" guns I am not even considering a CZ anymore and instead will investigate buying an Anschutz even if it costs a bit more.

Anyone else still considering CZ as a company to deal with at this time or is it not even an issue as far as you're concerned?

Go buy what you want, no need to ask for permission.
If you do not like CZ for any reason then by an Anschutz and enjoy it over your 10/22.If you know, you know.
The 453 is all that I need atm, but a 452 in 22wm, or Mach II or the 452 American might enter the herd should I need to scratch that itch.
Again, if you know... you know.

Not asking any ones permission. Just wondering how others would think about supporting a traitor in our industry.
I see lots are not too keen on it and I guess neither am I.
 
I had no idea that CZ now owns Colt Canada. The more you know... but I remember when the old MEC was put out of business for refusing to sell products made by the corporation that owned Savage, so is boycotting a big maker like CZ not just gun owners flipping the dime over onto self harm?
 
I'm pushing towards 70 years, I have fought this fight pretty much since I was old enough to vote. I have loved all of my Brno/CZ rifles I have owned, and still own. At this point in my life, if I decide I want a new CZ, I will have one. If I buy or don't, it will not fix anything. The damage is done, and looking at the disarray in the Conservative camp, nothing is going to change. I doubt I will see any positive change in what is left of my shooting life.

If you want one, get one.
