Thanks for responding.

Having the bolt handle modified was something I had not considered.

Please allow some follow-up questions reguarding the Kevlar stock.

Is this stock suitable for shooting using a sling? I know
a full length bedding block is utilized, but I don't know if it makes the stock stiff enough for sling use.

and

Is CZ's quality control good enough that you would buy a kevlar stocked rifle without seeing in person? My concern is if the barrel is positioned evenly in the barrel channel. With a wood stock, it is no biggie to remove a little wood. Not sure what one could do with this stock.

I have to travel to visit a cz dealer and will probably have to have one ordered with a deposit.

I imagine that I'll in the minority wanting a 30'06 carbine, but the 9.3x62 version should be a desirable gun for the guys in Alaska and Canada.
