...well, they sent it, and I didn't get a nice stock...it is plain ugly in fact...that would describe the wood's "character"...
...it is so much plainer than the wood on FLgunner's gun that it looks like a different grade...at least the grain is straight...
...I guess it looks like everyone else's...LoL...
...not liking the sloppy floppy nature of the lever action...nothing holds it open...are they all like that...???...
...the UPS guy left it w/o a signature and ignored the note refusing delivery...
...CS @ Crosman assured me UPS would not leave "a rifle" w/o a signature and I assured CS that they
would and
have...as they
did...
...I sent in a cancelation request two hours after I made the order...four days later they shipped the rifle...I figgered I might as well look it over...
...I have mixed feelings aboot the rifle but over all am a bit disappointed...the fit and finish are definitely "Turkish"...the vaunted sling swivel studs are not even installed correctly on mine......this bodes ill for other aspects IMHO...
...all that said I still like how it looks and feels...the plain stock is still walnut...it is well milled...the rifle feels solid...like a rifle...it shoulders and points very well despite it's heft...I put the Barska red/green dot sight on it to point it at things...I am actually liking that...I might use it like that for a while...if I use it...
...I can get over it not being too pretty but I am not sure how I feel aboot the feel of the action...the probe keeps falling in the way of the magazine...abrupt movement will open the action...
...I can see where I would not worry too much aboot it getting beat up some, like I did with the Daystate...
...not sure if I like it enough to put self out over, but my biggest fear that it would be awkward has not been realized, although it is hardly dainty...
...the tricked out CZ is shooting really well...
