*sarcasm on*
This represents the US's aggressive expansion of NATO towards Russian territories. If it wasn't for NATO's aggressive expansion and goal to suffocate Russia militarly, politically, and economically than Russia wouldn't have been forced to go in Ukraine to protect its borders as well as ethnic Russians. Russia has the right to defend its borders and ethnic Russians no matter where! *sarcasm off*
... is what dumb little Russian trolls would say.
If you buy one of these just know that CZ thinks anything under 4 MOA is acceptable and CZ doesn’t think the Bren2 platform should be used for shooting at anything 200 yards out or beyond, as that is considered long range and not what the gun is designed for.
My x39 shoots 5-12 MOA with most ammo and CZ’s Customer Service Supervisor has used his psychic powers to decide that I shouldn’t bother sending it in because they have seen through the ether and concluded that it will pass their tests. It’s a shame that he didn’t use those same psychic powers, or his powers of reading comprehension, to know that all my accuracy testing was done at 50 yards and the only reason 200 yards was even mentioned is that I was explaining that 5-12 MOA is roughly 10 inches to 2 feet off-target at 200 yards, which is more than enough to miss a man-sized target regardless of how good of a shot one may be.
Additionally, once I learned that they’re not willing to stand behind their products, I tried to get them to just sell me an 11” x39 barrel so I could hopefully just fix their mistakes myself. After all, it’s better to be out a couple/few hundred dollars for another barrel than to be out a couple grand for a shotgun that only shoots 1 7.62x39 projectile for each round, but they said they couldn’t sell me one because “all our Bren2 production is going to Ukraine”. So they won’t fix my rifle and they won’t allow me to fix it either.

To all the CZ jockriders who will tell me “i CaN rInG sTeEl At 200 YaRdS aLl DaY wItH mY bReN2!”, that’s a cool story brother, but it doesn’t fix my rifle and that is the only damn thing that I want. I also don’t care if 4 MOA is acceptable for a service rifle, it’s not acceptable for a gun with a price tag of almost $2k that wasn’t issued to you for free. Additionally, just because you spent a lot of money (relatively speaking) on a gun, it doesn’t mean that you have to make it part of your personal identity and ego. When you do that, you end up simping for an undeserving company because you view anybody speaking of the rifle with anything but glorious praise as somehow personally attacking you.
