The 20.5 inch varmint-contour barrel is cold hammer forged with a crowned muzzle and a matte gray finish. The bore is clean and mirror-bright with sharp rifling, and the rifle is configured without iron sights.
The right-hand bolt uses a 60-degree throw and a round knob for smooth cycling and scope clearance. An adjustable trigger and a two-position, push-to-fire safety provide a user-tunable and familiar control layout.
The American-style walnut stock features a straight comb, textured grip and fore-end panels, a rubber buttpad, and sling swivel studs. Length of pull measures 14.0 inches, and a stud-mounted bipod is already installed.
The receiver carries an integral 11 mm dovetail and an installed Area 419 one-piece 30 MOA Picatinny rail with an integrated bubble level for precise leveling during setup. The action and barrel show matching serial numbers, and markings include the Czech proof house mark with “23” and “CZ-USA KANSAS CITY, KS.”
