CZ 858 Folder or Solid Stock

[LumberJack]

Im buying a 858 within the next few weeks but I cant make up my mind, folder or fixed? This is a gun im gonna be shooting alot so I want the comfort of the fixed but the folder looks awsome but uncomfortable. which is better.

Fixed stock will give you more comfort and better accuracy. I bought a folding stock myself, with the intention to add the skeleton stock..reason behind this,is that the folding stock is easier to remove..... the LOP of the skeleton suits my longer arms.

Buy the one with the fixed stock, then order the folder from Wolverine for $45.

Agree with this.

I bought mine with the folder, but I wouldn't have turned down a fixed stock model.

The folder is uncomfortable for extended shooting, both have a very short length of pull as I believe they are intended to be shot by folks wearing armour or a load bearing vest or both.

You can buy a kalinka buttpad for an ak which fits well and makes the folder alot more comfortable too shoot if somewhat fugly. I have both stocks and I keep it with the folder on.

the factory folder with a paracorded arm is not bad. There are a couple guys here on CGN that did a tutorial on how to wrap it. Im happy i did mine.

I would take the folder any day. That beaver barf "wood" is just too ugly ...

 

[sly mantis]

i like mine with a folder. wouldnt mind finding a butt pad that fit though.

 

[dgradinaru]

Wood stock is more comfortable, but if you want to use it while hiking and camping get a folder.

 

[Mr Freeze]

I like my folder. It's Czechticool.

Thanks for the info fellas, I think im gona order a fixed on the rifle and pick up a folder from Wolverine

LOP felt way too short for me on the CZ858 with the folding stock, that's why I went with the fixed one.

I just measured: LOP is identical for both fixed and folder at 12 3/4".

 

[ButtWhat]

I do believe Geoff B is correct... LOP is the same for folder and non folding...the issue is comfort. I am not sure if there are different models of the folders but IMO I dont think so.

i shot a cz with both stocks and i would prefer the fixed stock myself, the folding just feels weird, but maybe if i owned my own cz and shot it alot maybe i would get used to the folding stock after awhile, it jsut doesnt have that solid feel to it

 

[Stray03]

Yeah both stocks are the same length, and too short for me. It will cost you less to get the non folding on the gun and then to buy the folding stock after, also easier to find the folding stock separate.

I bought my 858 with the fixed stock,after i bought a folder from Wolverine,tried it but i put back the fixed one, for me feel better than the folder.

I like the look of the solid stock over the folding.

 

[gunrunner1977]

I have a folding stock but I find the fixed stock is more comfortable

I have three 858's. 2 have folding stocks (one paracorded). The other has been changed out to the skeleton stock with a rubber buttpad. The folders are fun to shoot, but a lot harder on the body. If I'm doing any extended shooting with CZ's its with the skeleton stock.
