I have sold. Owned. And shot every brand of MZ I can think of over the past 35+ years.
And have encountered some really good shooters, and some really horrific shooters. Here is what I have found over 35+ years of shooting MZ's.
The Knight rifle is consistently the most accurate of any brand I have ever seen. And the Knight rifle has also proven itself as being less finicky as to what type of projectile, and what load you wish to shoot. Knight's have pretty well shot(accurately) whatever projectile I choose to shoot.
I would rate the TC as second in line for accuracy. What I have noticed most about TC is that they wil shoot something well. You just have to find it. Some guys are lucky and find it fast, some don't.
In over 35+ years no doubt CVA MZ's have been the least accurate of all the brands. Even the traditions seem to have the edge over CVA.
When I was selling MZ's for a living I sent back three or four more times as many CVA's as all other MZ's combined. Sorry but that is a fact.
Obviously alot of that has to do with price point. No doubt. You would not expect to need to send back a $500+ MZ. But it is what it is. And you get what you pay for.
I do not doubt that some guys have received good results from certain different MZ's. And I am glad that worked out for you. But to try and compare a Pinto to a Cadillac is basically a futile waste of time. But if you wish to waste your time then go ahead. But everybody who really knows MZ's knows the truth. Pretty Simple.
There is alot more to a fine rifle than just accuracy. That is a point that is sometimes not talked about. But I dare you to compare a CVA trigger to a Knight trigger. Or quality of stock. Or other featues. So it is just not a small group that is important in a fine firearm. You need to keep that in mind.
If price is all you care about then I can understand that. But why would you knock someone because they want a higher quality rifle?? I don't understand??
And if you think that a CVA is built to the same quality level as a Knight rifle................ Well you are just plain wrong about that. Tom.
