Same here although I'm guessing this is not the last we've seen of this deal but we'll see.

I was on CAI's site trying to figure out how many VZ 2008's they had in stock.  I got up to 2500 in my cart, then on my next attempt going up in quantity I got a message that someone else had filled their cart and if they didn't purchase them within one minute, then the rifles would be available again.  More than one minute and now hours later, still no availability.  Seems as though some vendor somewhere picked up 2500+ VZ's just today.  I'd expect them to show up for sale soon.

It would be fascinating to hear the story of when and how many parts kits/demilled rifles CAI picked up in bulk.  My guess is that they got them about ten years ago for about five bucks each.  But that's just a guess.

If that's the case, they won't be offering these for 400 bucks, that's for sure

I actually wonder what kinda of price Palmetto or Aim got on these. I have my 01 and have a dealer account with Century and for me to purchase one it is Price: $479.87. There is no mention of bulk discount but I never actually called to see what they could do if I picked up 100 or so.

Just got back from putting my first two hundred rounds through the 2008 I purchased a month ago. I'm a very happy camper.

Here's some initial thoughts.
Accuracy with iron sights is acceptable. The sights required a fair amount of adjustment to get on target (fortunately my neighbor at the range happened to have an AK sight tool), but after that I was getting three and four inch groups, off hand at 50 yards, which I think says more about the course sights than it does about the rifle. Still, I'm fine with that, as I'm planning to use this as a close range brush and deer gun, and that's plenty of accuracy for those purposes.

Second, function was perfect. Not a single malfunction with over 200 rounds Tula ammo.

Third, I'm not such a fan of the folding stock, as its been taking a toll on my cheek. I think this probably varies substantially from person to person, depending on what your cheekbones are like as I've seen a bunch of people commenting that it doesn't bother them at all. In fact, I'm about to start another post asking if anyone want to trade their beaverbarf buttstock for the folding stock on mine.

Fourth, the oft-mentioned problem of overheating fore-end guards wasn't an issue for me. First, it was about 50 degrees out, so that certainly helped. But also, I feel comfortable gripping the gun by the front edge of the magazine.

All in all, for four hundred dollars... uh, duh. Buy one.

Surprise!!!  Back in stock

There are a few reports where the shooter doesn't like the beaver barf stock for the same cheek-bashing reasons.  I've never shot a beaver barf stock, and a simple padding and paracord wrap cured my rifle.  Look through the threads on how to pad the folding stock and see if they work.

thanks. i was also considering the paracord route

[OLd_Sarge]

there is a thread on padding the folding stock, when I remember I will post my stock on there, and in the mean time try not to buy one more.................
