Ok, I know very little about the VZ-58 and they never really appealed to me....until today.
I was at my local shop and they just put two of them on the rack. One had what appeared to be polymer furniture and a "butthole" type stock. The other has the traditional furniture with a full stock. The former (which didn't really strike me as attractive) had a price tag of $829, IIRC. The latter (which I fell in love with) was $749.
Now, I'm not up to date on the prices, but from my limited exposure to the VZ, throug "e-shopping", this seemed like a pretty good price. Not to mention that, this thing was SPOTLESS and, from the moment I picked it up, it felt like an extension of my body. Not many rifles turn my crank, the way this one did.
My questions are; 1) Who makes these? I didn't see "Century" anywhere on it and I hope that's not the case! 2) Is $749 a good price for this rifle? I'm honestly thinking of trading my Century Galil for it (big disappointment) and want to know where I stand and what you guys think. 3) Is there anything that I should look out for?
Any and all help/opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
