Hello Steyr,
I didn't intend to imply that they were only sold here! I have no doubt of them having been available there in the past, but I was referring to their availability now. I assumed that CZ-USA was not likely to have been the only buyer of that original lot of them with the orange stock and the cheap price tag, but once that supply was exhausted they were not available here in North America for quite some time. When they reappeared as a CZ-USA catalog item and with a normal stock finish, the price was much higher, however, CZ in Uhersky Brod does not show them on their website, thus my comment that I don't believe they are available anywhere else, and of course, I mean at the present time. I assume that you are in Australia and dancz is in New Zealand, so are these still available there now? If they are, how are the looks compared to the older one?
Apologies to retgarr as I think the three of us hijacked your thread kind of unintentionally! The original question was about the wood I believe. Well, as far as I know, only beechwood is used for the stock (at least now) on this particular rifle.
Regards,
Jefferito
