Hi, Belated correction! The CAM rifle was designed and developed for the cadet rifle trials in the late eighties. It was named CAM after the inventor's nephew's initials. I am doing some in-depth research on the history of this rifle and when completed will publish it here first, Alan

Hi Oly, Try using Lovex S060, previously sold as Accurate 2015 or Accurate Bench Rest 2015. It is a single base propellant ideal for both .223 and .308. The user guide and load data is online from Lovex. The added advantage is that Lovex powders are significantly cheaper from most sources, Cheers Alan

Hi, I second Dave on this. While most CZ's shoot remarkably well out of the box for such a reasonably priced rifle, shortening the barrel has never harmed the accuracy in my experience. In many cases accuracy has improved, this is probably down to reduced time in barrel and care taken over the recrowning. At Bisley yesterday an 8 year hold was holding moa at 100 yards in the OSM's Hunter Benchrest competition, this was with a 16" CZ Sporter with a tuned trigger, Alan

Hi again, P.S. The CAM refers to the extraction cam that was needed due to the very limited bolt lift. A patent was applied for in 1992 but refused as details were made public by the makers before the application was submitted. The cocking arrangements were very similar to the Lee-Enfield. Alan

Hi, As previously stated the CAM rifle was made by BMS. The original idea was to offer the CAM as an economic cadet rifle using the M16/AR15 bolt head and barrel extension, magazine etc. There was also a projected low cost rifle for 'emerging nations' - MILCAM, police -POLCAM, carbine - COMCAM, sniper - SNICAM and covert takedown - COVCAM. They suffered from a poor quality of construction and finish (sheet steel, weld marks etc.), were made in very small quantities and never caught on. Despite all this and poor trigger pulls and chrome lined barrels, if fitted with a decent sight they were capable of shooting sub moa. A factory option was a fitted H&K G3 bipod, Alan
