I called CZ USA and asked about the safety on their 523 model rifles and the guy I talked to said that they had changed the way they operate some time back. In other words, according to him, they now operate forward to fire and rearward to safe. However all of the rifles I have found on Goingbroker have safeties operating in the opposite (Old) way. Has anybody bought one recently and if so, which way does the safety work.
