Has anyone see, handled or shot this rifle yet? If so, what do you think of fit and finish, machining quality, blueing, accuracy, ergonomics, esthetics, etc?
 
I heard that is being manufactured in Russia now, there are not much reviews on it yet. Lebaron store sales them.

Its an "Americanized" TOZ 78. The stock and sights look better but I'm curious to know how they shoot and how they look up close.
 
They are decent enough... The bolt sticks when you buy it brand new, and takes at least a brick and a half to work it in smooth. Comes with 3 10rd mags & a 5. For a cheap plinker its ok. If you can spend the extra $ go with a CZ.
 
I've got a CZ and a Savage Mk II Heavy Barrel and a Rem 541 T and a BSA Martini but I'm curious to know how these shoot. I've read good comments on Rimfire Central about the TOZ 78 and a few good comments about the still not widely available Win Wildcat.
 
just love my wildcat 22,a little stiff brand new to be expected though.nice tight groups at 50 yards 3/4 in.once broken in the action is smooth to operate and feeds ammo flawlessly.For 250.00 its not all that bad.
