Alright, first off, I WANT

Second, I did a search, couldn't find anything on CGN (hard when CZ is under the 3 letter minimum search)

Is it a new offering? I don't remember seeing it.
 
I thought they offered something of the like before but I thought it was called something along the lines of the Ultimate Long Range Hunter or something like that.

Looks interesting though.
 
That one was a rifle with matching scope Nightforce I think, and this ones in 338LM....not sure why, but the caliber has always intrigued me. Not sure why it has a belt though.
 
The Ultimate Rifle (cheesy name) was a wood stocked 300 Win Magnum with matched Nightforce Scope. This looks very different as this one has a muzzebrake and syn stock.
 
Nice looking rifle. I was interested in that muzzle brake. Looks to be suppressor ready.

Also, the scope is on sideways. The windage is not the elevation and the elevation is the windage. Not a bad idea as it lets the left hand do the dialing. Just the controls might be backwards.

A FRONT AO scope. Didn't think anyone bothered making these anymore for tactical useage :)

Its apperently a "Surefire" muzzle break. If that helps the ID on weather is suppressor ready or not.
 
It is a VERY slow rate of twist. Might run into trouble with 175gr bullets.

Palma shooters usually stay around 13 twist. Some go down to 13.5. Never heard anyone use a twist that slow except the 30BR guys. But they shoot 115 to 125gr slugs.

That is a seriously bizarre twist rate.

Yep, thought that was a SUREFIRE brake. Just more bling we can't fully utilize...SIGH :-(

However, for that type of money, will never grace my gun closet. That is crazy expensive. Maybe that includes the optics????

Oh, well that's good info. This is exactly why I reference the forum before making such a purchase :D

I'll have a 338 Lapua some day.... now it won't be a CZ. Process of elimination continues.
 
I wouldn't doupt the misprint, if you look under the caliber selection area, it also says "338 lapua, express sights" I don't see any express sights on it ;) At least not the ones on the safari rifles.

You realize it's a 338 Lapua, not a 308 Win, right? Or did I miss something?
