My new CZ-858 Canadian Edition

20121030_203700.jpg
I almost bought the Canadian Edition but couldn't get past the maple leafs on it (yes I am Canadian and proud, but prefer not on my rifle). I see that it indeed does look great, including the Arma-Coating (black is nicer), but I chose the Ironwood Designs custom walnut instead. I posted a thread if you want to check it out. Custom wood cost me more, but it was finished more to my taste, my choice of wood and I got the thicker furniture/longer pistol grip (more pics in my thread):

Oh oh.....Looks like it's a walk off! Oiled Walnut vs Stained Beech..... hardly fair.
:)
They both look pretty good! Nice to have options eh?

Always a choice out there (wanted to see the pics side by side to compare). I was ready to buy the Canadian Edition but the Maple Leafs turned me off on it. Custom wood is a lot more expensive (Weimajack has CDN Ed for $725) but you can make it to your specifications. If the Canadian Ed didn't have the emblems on there, I would have bought it and never bothered with custom furniture. Both look a lot better than the beaver barf. Here's my other VZ58, FSN-01, what should I do with this one... that's some ugly beaver ain't it :(

Love the color and look of the real wood over the beaver barf, but not a big fan of the engraving and texturing. That being said I'd still shoot the hell out of it haha. Nice score!!!

I kinda wish the hand guard on the non-restricted version was a little longer to take up another inch of that barrel. Could balance out the look more. That is a lot of barrel I've always thought.

Man I love the Beaver! If you don't want yours let me know as I've always got room in the Lodge for more beaver!
I agree the laser style engraving is a bit week on the Canadian edition and cheapens the wood somewhat to my eyes.
Serious about the Beaver though..
 
The bakelite is gross, do you have the glue marks on your pistol grip... yuck.

Before:

After: (maybe sand down buttstock and paint black? What do you guys think?) CZ black handguards, aftermarket pistol grip...
