What was interesting is that it I patched it through my .22 Mag and .223 and it went through a breeze.
When I put it through my .22LR CZ it was a slightly tighter fit, turning the swivel handle with the rifling, even without a patch on it.
I thought 22LR and 22 mag would be an exact diameter? Understand if the Magnum and the LR were the same and the .223 was a looser fit?

Im assuming you've only bought one CZ mate.
So just because thats your experience, doesnt make it that simple for everyone else.
I too had a bore guide before i had the rifle due to owning a Brno, but that helped me none.
Believe me, its not your research that prevented the ejector chewing out your rod &/or allowed you avoid the hassle we have.
Rather, its that you didnt get a CZ with sharpened 6' star dropper in place of a normal sized ejector.
Ill say it again, the ejector in mine was too big to allow a bore guide to be inserted, & also far to big to allow a a rod to go down the bore without deforming & damaging it.
So my advice to anyone buying one in a gun shop, is remove the bolt & sight down the bore...if you see the ejector shadowed in against the light from down the bore, ask the shop to pass one of their rods down it & test a guide for fit.
Either that, or as Wm says--you take your chances on damaging rods & getting the ejector filed down smaller.
