CZ-858 vs M14S

the m14 ......they well is running out on them and you can sell one for at least what you paid for it and to have it shipped
the vz is a nice rifle but not as accurate and you probably will be able to buy one next year
 
it dont matter which you buy first as long as buy the other later.

i love my cz858 , cheap ammo , fairly accurate, light weight and cool looking (closes you are gonna get to an AK) ..... im on the waiting list for the m305, i hear its better in terms of accuratecy, super heavy and it got a good kick, ofcos the ammo is more expensive, and it not uncommon for owners to blow more to dress it up than what they paid for the rifle initially.

m305 may be cheaper at the start but at the end its can cost you dearly.:D
 
There's word of .51 nato coming in ~ 4ish months...at which point having an m14 will be pure gold. Also, there is value in building up to your own specifications / interests...with aftermarket additions available anywhere.
 
i've had both, i kept the CZ858 - smaller and lighter, cheaper ammo, more weatherproof.

i'd rather have a garand than an M305.
 
VZ too. Personally the m14 just didn't suit me... too heavy and uncomfortable for how it performed. Plus, spending the same or more on a rifle to make it how you want doesn't sit quite right with me...

Vz is, as before posted, also the closest you can come to an AK, and is generally more durable and gun IMO.
 
I have both too. I love em both. the .308 is better suited to hunting big game than 7.62x39, if that's what you're after. plinking? get the CZ
 
I would say M14 all the way. The M14s are very accurate, dependable, and versatile; you can hunt, shoot service rifle and blast with it at the range. 7.62X39 is fun for blasting at the range, but the ballistics are pretty lame compared with 7.62X51. The main draw for me with 7.62X39 was case lots of cheap ammunition, but this is beginning to dry up and the prices have gone up substantially since I got my first case. Also I don't know about you but I'm not sure how comfortable I would be firing corrosive ammunition through a 600 dollar plus rifle. While it is now possible to accessorize the CZ to some degree, there is infinitely more things you can do with an M14. If you get tired of shooting it with Iron sights, you can get a mount, scope and cheek piece and convert it to a sniper rifle accurate beyond 600 yards. Personally I love the looks of the M14, and find its lineage and history very interesting and would recommend it to anyone as a must have for any collection. While the CZ is also cool, I would say owning one for me at least would be more of a luxury as opposed to an essential part of a collection.
 
858 all the way,
Own an 858, I love it, shot an M305 many times, no comparison, 858 is much more fun and its CZ. Hard to beat the quality. good luck whatever you choose you will enjoy it.
