Nobody seems to know where all of these are coming from. They were not in the original 70-something that included the 1 Sniper and 40-something Standards. Nobody even knows how many of these things popped up. Some reports say they all have flash hiders and others say only a few have hiders. I want one with a hider so I can get a suppressor for it (and not have to have it threaded locally).
I've heard some interesting stories lately about how many CZ-700s actually came into the US and left due to CZ not marketing them and setting the prices too high. One distributer had "a bunch" of 700 Snipers (the fiberglass stocked version) and Sniper M1s two years ago, but couldn't sell them. The story is that they got sent back to CZ-UB.
Even though the price in that link is a bit high compared to others selling the new batch, it's a good deal. As soon as these dry up, they'll go back up to $2500.
