Have YOU verified that it is a CAI Vz2008 or are you going on what the seller is telling you? Perhaps the "local guy" isn't educated on these rifles either & doesn't know what he has and is confused. Maybe you can get a Czechpoint Vz or one of the other builds for CAI pricing. If you do know, for sure, it's a CAI Vz2008 Mi-shooter is right... stick can't be ten years old.
