Lynn,

You gave yourself some great starting equipment. Get you some ammo the rifle likes and the only thing you will NOT like is the lack of excuses if you miss.

Lynn -

Remember to pick up a Brooks Trigger Kit, and you may want BKL cantilever style rings to get proper eye relief. A Weaver KT15 scope gave me fits on a Varmint until I used a set BKL's to get the eye piece close enough, though eye relief is probably better on your T24. You've got a great setup, enjoy!

Kevin,Outsde of Reno we have a big range I know they shoot b/s ?about s/b and Vegas is opening the largest shooting facility in the country this year they may.I may have to start one here in Carson.BlauBear Brook doesn't carry a L/H trigger for CZ.

Finally another place that will shoot b/s, but I think it will be hard to beat Winnie in this department. That is why I always wear my boots when I go there.

Lynn,
My son and I both have cz's they are great guns. I was interested to find that there are matches outside of Reno. I have an Aunt there who would love to see my son shoot since she helped him pay for his rifle. If you find out a schedule please let me know or post it on here. I may just have to plan a trip to visit and shoot.
Good luck and you will have a ball with this.
