The VZ2008 Sporter follows the vz.58 pattern rather than the AK series, with a milled receiver and ribbed top cover, a short-stroke gas piston system, and a last-round bolt hold-open. The right-side selector lever is marked "F" and the charging handle is also on the right, matching the rifle's Czech-inspired control layout.
Its 16.25-inch barrel is threaded and fitted with a muzzle brake. The rifle uses iron sights, pairing a protected front post with a tangent rear leaf for a familiar and robust sighting setup.
The steel skeleton stock folds to the right and uses a curved buttplate. Length of pull is 13.0 inches. Furniture includes a marbled reddish-brown Czech composite pistol grip and Czech-pattern composite handguards, providing the classic vz.58 look and feel.
The rifle uses the vz.58 rock-and-lock magazine interface and has a 30+1 capacity. Import markings read "CENTURY ARMS, INC., GEORGIA, VT, CAL 7.62 x 39 MM," and the country of origin is listed as the United States.
