CSA vz 58- accurate price?

[Allaemer245]

I'm in the market for a cz-858/vz 58 that is non-restricted. So I naturally emailed my local gun shop who quoted me $950 for a CSA vz58 non restricted, as this is my first of this rifle I'm unsure of how much is too much. But, I'm having my doubts when it comes to this. Opinions anyone ?

The CSA's go for more than the CZ's, but the differences are there. Gloss black finish, way nicer machining and black synthetic furniture. $950 sounds right inline for a CSA.

Makes sense I suppose. Do you think it's worth the extra money?

I would say not really , the CZ 858 is a real CZ, CSA is not a real CZ, almost like a knockoff but not.

CSA is new production parts,not like the CZ's mil spec parts(90% of the 858 parts are military parts and it shows)

CSA's look real nice and shoot good but some seem to have part failure. Rods,firing pins.


No expert on these weapons but the store owner I bought my rifle from gave me that basic rundown and sold me the cheaper 858.

I'll have to take that into account, it seems like a great price difference between the two for essentially the same rifle !

One of the VZ/CZ masters should chime in soon and set the record straight.
