heres a little update on the cz.i set this gun up for my 10yo boy,mounted a 6-20x44 viper modded the bolt handle for scope clearance and added a tac style knob more more leverage for him.did a little polish work on the bolt and re-parked the handle,changed out the action screws with allen style and did some barrel break in with hsm 32g vmax ammo.gun shot under 1/2 from the get go.after working up some hand loads for both the cooper and cz i can say the cooper will consistently out group the cz but not by alot,the cz is a little gun and with the scope mounted so low almost hard for me to shoot comfortable.BUT the (10 year old) shoots consistent 5 round 100y sub 1/2 groups with hsm ammo and his best 3 round 100y groups are .233 and .280 back to back.i havent turned him loose with handloads yet :D
