CZ-3
Notes: This new sporting rifle is actually made by CZ’s US branch, CZ-USA. Though it is primarily meant for the North American, and particularly the US consumer, it is exported elsewhere. It is quite similar to the Winchester Model 70 – it will even accept Model 70 scope mounts in addition to CZ’s standard scope mounts. It is styled with Americans in mind, instead of the normal "European look" of CZ sporting rifles. The metal parts are finished in matte stainless steel, and the stocks are of high-quality walnut. The action tends to be a bit rough, but this can be easily fixed (Very Easy: Gunsmith or Easy: Small Arms (Rifle)). As set by the factory, the trigger pull is a bit heavy, but the trigger is adjustable.
Twilight/Merc 2000 Notes: This weapon does not exist.

CZ-365
Notes: Originally known as the ZKW-465, this rifle fires small-caliber rifle rounds. It is basically a miniature Mauser, and is an enlarged ZKM-451 with the safety catch moved to the right side of the receiver behind the bolt handle. The trigger guard was enlarged and the magazine was slanted to accommodate necked rounds. Though 40,000 were built, CZ-365’s chambered for anything other than .22 Hornet are extremely rare.

CZ-452
Notes: This is a Czech-made rimfire rifle that is a modernized version of the old ZKM-452 rifle. It is a basic sort of bolt-action rifle, with a lacquered wood half-stock, hogs-back comb, and sling swivels. The CZ-452-2E can accept a sound suppressor. Several variants exist other than the standard CZ-452-2E, including the Lux, a deluxe version with a polished walnut stock and polished blued metalwork (identical for game purposes); the Style, with a synthetic stock that has a roughened texture; the Special, with a polished beechwood stock and checkering in the right places (again, identical to the standard version for game purposes); the Junior, with a shortened butt and barrel; and the CZ-453 Standard, with a rocking L-type sight, grooves for a scope mount, and a simplified trigger mechanism; the CZ-453 Lux, similar in concept to the 452-2E Lux (and identical to the CZ-453 for game purposes). The CZ-452 American is a rifle that was, as the name suggests, designed with the US (and North American) export market in mind; it is not available until 2004. It has no iron sights, being designed for use with a telescopic sight.
Twilight 2000 Notes: The CZ-452 American, of course, does not exist.

CZ-513 Basic
Notes: This new Czech small-caliber rifle is designed for the first time shooter and for practice shooting. It is a simplified version of the CZ-452, and has a plain beechwood stock, non-adjustable iron sights with no drilling and tapping for a scope, and a non-adjustable trigger. It is a compact and easy-to-use weapon.
The earlier CZ-513 Farmer has a larger magazine, an adjustable rear sight, and a slightly longer barrel.
Twilight 2000 Notes: This weapon exists only in Eastern Europe.

CZ-527
Notes: This is a Czech hunting rifle popular in Eastern Europe and some parts of Africa and the Middle East. As CZ (Ceska Zbrojovka) manufactured a large amount of Mauser rifles for the Nazis after being taken over during World War 2, they have put a lot of that experience into building its line of sporting rifles, including the 527 series. The 527 is designed for smaller calibers. The Lux version has a longer barrel and is built of stronger, but lighter alloys and superior woods. The CZ-527 American was, of course, designed for export to the US (and North American) market, and uses an American-style stock, some different calibers, a single set trigger, and rings for American-built scopes; it has no iron sights. Wood or synthetic stocks are available. The CZ-527 Carbine is made in both a small-caliber and intermediate-caliber model, and is designed to be a brush gun, with open iron sights and light weight, and a short barrel. It has a single set trigger. The CZ-527 Varmint fires, in addition to 5.56mm NATO, the .17 Remington cartridge. The 5.56mm NATO version has a synthetic stock; the .17 Remington version has a walnut stock. It has a single set trigger and a much longer barrel than other models. There are no iron sights, but the Varmint has rings for a scope.
Twilight 2000 Notes: Of course, the CZ-527 American is not available. The CZ-527 Varmint does not exist either.

Notes: This is basically a CZ-527 chambered for larger calibers. However, the box magazine is not standard on this weapon, though it is available; instead, most of these weapons are equipped with an internal magazine. The Sport version was designed for target shooting and comes with an optical scope; the Sniper version comes both with a telescopic scope and a bipod.

CZ-550
Notes: The CZ-550 is a bolt-action hunting rifle produced primarily with the export market in mind. The stocks are made from walnut, and have a thick recoil pad at the butt. It has no iron sights, only rings for a telescopic sight. The controls are handy and easy to manipulate.
In recent years, a few more models have been added. The CZ-550 American is designed with the North American export market in mind; it uses an American-style stock and fires slightly-different calibers, and has a longer barrel than most CZ-550s. It has no iron sights, and is equipped with scope rings that will mount most US and Canadian telescopic sights. The CZ-550 Varmint has a long 25.6-inch barrel and a single set trigger; it comes only in two calibers, and can have a synthetic or wooden stock. There are no iron sights, but scope rings are provided. It is meant primarily for North American export.
The CZ-550 American Safari Magnum is a variant of the CZ-550 Magnum firing a different mix of powerful cartridges and using American styling in the stock. They are equipped with rubber recoil pads, scope rings (with express backup iron sights), and synthetic or wooden stocks (which may be finished with simple lacquer or laminated). Barrel length of these versions is 24 inches.
The CZ-550 Safari Magnum and Medium Magnum are designed for the European market, though they have been exported elsewhere; the Safari Magnum fires a slightly different mix of ammunition than the standard Magnum, but uses the same sort of European stock; the Medium Magnum fires only 7mm Remington Magnum and is a rather light magnum rifle. The Safari Magnum has scope rings and express iron sights; the Medium Magnum has scope rings and standard Iron sights.
The Ultimate Hunter (also called the CZ-550 UHR, for Ultimate Hunting Rifle) is new for 2006; it features a 23.6-inch heavy free-floating barrel, and extreme attention has been given to the fit and finish of the rifle to make it as accurate and tough as possible. The Ultimate Hunter comes with a proprietary sight base which can mount most civilian scopes in the world today. (There are no iron sights.) Shooting Times magazine says the tolerances are so tight on the Ultimate Hunter as to be nonexistent. The stock is of checkered American Walnut, with a thick rubber recoil pad on the butt, and finished in natural color and weatherproofed. The metalwork is satin blued. Currently only one chambering is available; it is not known whether other chamberings are planned, but I’d say it’s a safe bet that there are.
Twilight 2000 Notes: The "American" variants (including the Ultimate Hunter), the Safari Magnum, and the Medium Magnum do not exist.
