I feel I must inform the public of my CZ experience. I'm sure many have seen my thread documenting the challenges I'd faced with it and have ultimately ended up with a non-repairable barrel defect that will never "wear in" and shoot well. CZ has rejected my warranty claim and will NOT replace the barrel.
"Warranty only covers defects visible to the eye. Any faults requiring the use of an optical device to observe are not covered under warranty"
Well how the heck else do you see the defect in the barrel causing crap accuracy!?
Folks, they absolve themselves of any responsibility for defective barrels with that statement. You have no accuracy warranty. This company does not stand behind what they sell. The only thing worse than the let down of a substandard product is a shady company that won't make it right. I will never buy CZ again, I will never recommend to anyone to buy CZ, I will always warn of the potential pitfalls of dealing with CZ. Their new reputation is to be one of manufacturing quality going down the toilet and they don't care about their customers.
I won't tell you not to buy one if your heart is set on it. Indeed they can be nice looking rifles and some of them perform very well. Those were produced after a tooling change, then they run their tooling well past it's useful life and still ship out the sub-standard parts for suckers to buy. Buyer Beware cover your rear. Get it inspected with a bore scope. Reject purchasing the sub-standard product, it will never perform for you and CZ won't help you. Prove it to meet standard before you hand over the cash. It is like playing the lottery, some win big, some win enough to keep them playing and some lose. You can't return a losing ticket for a refund, or a CZ but at least you can see if the rifle is a winner or loser before buying at your LGS if they'll kindly show it to you with a bore scope. There is no value in buying a product where you then have to go out of pocket just to get it's performance up to standard never mind enhancing the performance and ending up at the cost of the better quality product you should have bought in the first place. Shame on CZ!
