My M82 came from the CMP store in Anniston. I was fortunate enough to be able to hand select mine and it doesn't have the "cut." It does have a beautiful a "cake bread" walnut stock.
The sights are very good but, the base for the front sight was apparently misaligned. In order to get it on paper, I had to use all of the right windage and the point of impact was still 2" left of center.
I mounted a 12x Leupold target scope and had no problem in centering the group. The groves for the scope mounts require specific rings and I had to use the CZ rings to mount the scope.
The rifle was a gift from a good friend for helping him get into high power rifle competition and coaching him to his Expert qualification.
