Compact CZ 75s / Re: any feedback on how to upgrade my 99041 at CGW?
« Last post by RSR on Today at 04:35:08 AM »I disagree with RSR on red dots. You do not need full extension or even to be 100% lined up to find a target with a quality red dot. Being able to co-witness is a good backup and any quality mill job and dot will allow that.
Red dots have to be aligned with your eye to work. Modern shooting techniques, you really won't/shouldn't have that sight to eye alignment until at/near full extension.
Lasers work when shooting from retention, and also don't require any serious modding of gun. And since you can see where aiming before gun is to your eye, it's also faster, at least conceptually.
Pistol red dots WILL change moving forward, and I wouldn't make any permanent modifications to run what is likely to only be on the market for a decade in its current configuration.
) so my LOP is around 12.5" so I have to cut every rifle stock down to that LOP for a comfortable shooting experience. On both my CZ MTR Varmint and my just plain Varmint I tried to take the butt pad off and could not get a Philips head screw driver to grab the hidden screw head that hold the butt pad onto the stock. I tried several sizes and everything I could find out on the internet said they were Philips head screws. You can not see the head of these screws due to CZ making such a small slit to hide the cut for the screw holes. They do a very good job at this as they do with everything they do. So I just ordered a new grind to fit butt pad and cut the LOP on my CZ Varmint down to 12.5". Went well and very successful. But still agrivated that I could not see what screw head was holding the CZ pad on. I could not find this info out anywhere. So today I cut the pad off the factory butt pad and wanted to let anyone that needed that info know what the screws are. The screws are a T20 Torx bit. The butt pad is glued on slightly as was stated in several forums butt not glued super tight. Anyway now I know and so do you. The factory butt pad is not solid on the bottom so if cutting it down much the factory pad will not work and you will need a replacement grind to fit pad. I would rather find a CZ Plastic Butt Plate instead for my MTR model, which I will be doing very soon along with an adjustable cheek riser coming from the UK.
