I am currently considering two CZ' s. One I' d love to have is the Mannlicher, (full stocked), chambered in 9.3X62. The other is the Magnum action...but I haven' t entirely decided which caliber yet. I' d want a certain stopper for Brown' s but just haven' t quite settled on the particular caliber yet. (In the not to distant future it might be available in .400 H&H as well as the other calibers. Time will tell.)

But then I have to decide to use them as is...blued steel and wood stock...or have them refinished and restocked....to better deal with the weather. (If I were only intending to spend short periods of time in the field it wouldn' t be an issue. But the truth of the matter is this time when we go....we are not going to mortgage but rather " pay as we build" and put up a small modified A-Frame. If it takes several years....we don' t mind! I am done working for " the bank" .....any bank! We have already decided to spend between three to six months annually in " the field" . Tough life...but someone has to do it!!!) I have considered several finishes that are more weather resistant than plain blue steel...but I' d really like to find a laminated " drop in" rather than synthetic to replace the factory stocks. I think finding a full stock laminated for the CZ may be tough. Remington' s custom shop makes a laminated full stock...but it is for their action...Model 7. (Worse case I guess I' ll just full length glass bed it and " oil it up" the best I can!) Unless someone makes a wood finishing product that protects like the hard finishes Remington use to use...but has a " Satin finished" appearance. Still thinking....still looking!?!
