lovely pic- I haven't tried a CZ steel mag in mine.
I am gathering by the photo they obviously work fine so that's good to know !
They sure are sexy in black cerakote with a laminate stock.
Problem for me is I just cant bring myself to bash such a work of art stock around in a farm ute !

The Ute is 70% of its use and I have found the cerakote is tough enough to cope with knocks from the window sill and frame no probs and l use 6 mags , the 101 mag and the 6 and 10 shot cz both plastic and steel no problem.
It gets used out to 300y on steel plates a lot .

My 101 shoots CCI subs best and so do all my other .22's. I bought a 101 purely for patriotic reasons even though Lithgow are owned by the French. Mine stays in the safe though as I prefer my CZ as it shoots anything well whereas the 101 is very fussy. Mine has feed issues and I know it's an easy fix but at $1050 for a .22 it should not happen and was/is a real disappointment in what is otherwise an extremely well engineered and finished rifle. I think they also need to look into the magazine well and make it a little more snug as the mags are fairly loose and this may be a factor in the feed issues.

As much as I like mine they should have used the ruger mags
they would have been very nice to use 10 shots and no crappy
mag hanging out like a unwelcome turd ....
