VZ58 in 7.62x51 is possible if there is enough interest.

[IBM]

I'd be interested if it took common magazines and had a folding stock.

 

[Gorno]

Tagged. Definitely need more options for NR .308 battle rifles.

Where did $1500 come from? Man, you guys are really willing to throw your money at anything.

 

[Rocket Surgery]

Haha no matter what rifle you introduce, a bunch of guys say they'd be totally down if it were in some stupid obscure caliber that the world forgot about

Which obscure caliber are you talking about?

..hmmm...could try .50 cal..., I'd pay $1500 for that...

Seriously though, start ordering the VZ58 .12 gauge, the people have spoken, get it done already!

 

[gonzzzooo]

1200 would get me in

I may be dreaming but...Would a 7.62x54r version taking svd dragunov style mag doable?? Skeleton stock and all... It would also need side mount hole to be raised a bit so a PSO-1 style type of scope would clear the dust cover

If this rifle is produced how many years would it take to reach the Canadian market?

 

[bradmclean]

if this is possible then please bring it,i will buy one!

 

[SeamusMac]

I think the idea is that CSA would re-tool and make a run of these .308 VZ58's specifically for North Sylva Co. and the Canadian market. The purpose of this thread is to gauge interest as the order would have to be fairly large to justify the cost of re-tooling for this rifle.

 

[88Azazel]

If this is actually doable I would buy a rifle for sure.

I think there's going to be a little more then just retooling involved though. I'm thinking a heavier profile barrel and possibly a beefier receiver would be required. I can't see a 6.5 pound semi auto .308 being too fun to shoot.

Well, it sure as heck would be lighter than the m14's coming from norc! I would like to hunt with a semi-308, but I hate the thought of lugging an m14 around the woods. Vz58 in 308 would be a good option!

 

[bradmclean]

this,with the 22 conversion kit for my old one would be just crazy

x2...the M14 is a heavy pig!!!

 

[Hunter709]

I have to agree.... .12 Gauge version would be much nicer.

 

[MegaMonkeyChunk]

I'd take on of those and one in 7.62x51.

Probably put a priority on a 12 gauge variant though.

Yeah, I'ed probably end up with both as well.

 

[G.Mitchell]

Over a short time I'd get both a .308 and 12 gauge.

These would be awesome guns!

 

[CrazedZelot]

I was just enjoying a big glass of kool-aid....

I'm in!

 

[haha49]

Id buy one just wish it used reall wood grips then the beaver wood ones...

if it took m14 magaiznes that would be good enought for me since i have a few AIA magazines that work in the M14 they might work in that as well...
