CZ/S200 ceases production?

[bighit]

Ive read various reports that CZ are no longer producing the 200 and have no plans to do so in the future.
Anyone have any information about this?

Contact them direct and get the truth from them.

Just had a look at their new catalogue, no mention of air rifles at all, so this could be right unfortunately

Ive a feeling they might have better things to do than answer questions over Internet rumours, hence asking here

Was sorely tempted by a new one in 2002.
A little tack driver.

There in lays CZ's problem with making it, no doubt. That was eighteen years ago and the PCP buyers have moved on.

True, gunsnlandies, but the Rifle is still in a class of it's own with accuracy that will match just about anything you can think of. Crying shame that AA never put a larger cylinder on it and added a Reg - would be a game changer. Hand on heart I would sell my Wildcat tomorrow and buy just such a gun.

But AA had no reason to spend money on something they bought in, when they already had their models to sell. Not only that, I'm sure the accountants at CZ couldn't see the value in such an exercise neither. It doesn't matter how good something is if doesn't sell enough to justify its place in production.
As I see it, there is an awful lot of nostalgia spoken about the S200 by people who no longer own one.

What he said. Plenty of BSA PCPs will match it for the price, with British barrels. Not made in the EU either...

Go on I’ll bite. Name one BSA at the same price point that will match the S200 for quality, accuracy and reliability?

No, they won't.

i wouldn't think a barrel would be anything as good as a few of the eu produced ones today . err may have been the case IMO 30 years ago

The standard and target versions are still listed on Air Arms website, just looks like CZ don't sell their own branded ones anymore but still supply AirArms with them.

I did Email and ask and I got a reply

Dear Mr. Bighit




thank You for Your email and for Your interest.

Unfortunately, You are right, the production of the CZ S200 airgun was discontinued.

I am sorry for being unable to give You a more positive answer.




Have a nice day and stay safe.

A real shame, it was a truly excellent pcp. I must obtain another one, or possibly two

You might be lucky and a new old stock

Does this mean that my daughters favourite rifle's value has just escalated?
