Way better than any of the junk Princess Auto sells.
You make me smile!

I actually thought they were cheep junk until I tried to repair one.
I had no idea they were made by CZ or that CZ was a branch of BRNO or was it the other way round.

The more I learn about them the more impressed I am.

Comparing them to a Remington 700 is appropriate I believe.

It's a small part of why I don't want to replace the main spring if I don't have to.
The more original it is the more it is worth. They may never be worth what a field grade LC Smith is worth but who knows, some day they might rival a 22 speedmaster in value.
