It depends on if you plan to stay with open sights or scope the CZ:
While the trainer will work with a scope it is better suited for open sights.
The American is great with a scope.
Both will shoot VERY well so it's up to what drives you.

Training, mine has the irons like a Lux, just plainer wood. The Scout rear iron is not as good. And the dovetail keeps the scope option open. Unless you need a shorter brush bbl.

Agreed. Personally, I REALLY like both of my Trainers.

Thanks guys.
I want both open sights and scope. So that would point to the Trainer but I was worried if I scoped it, the front sight would get in the way.

The front sight will most assuredly NOT get in the way, since you are pretty much forced to use REALLY high rings to clear the rear sight. The scope on mine (both of them) is a Nikon 3-9x40mm Buckmaster on Burris Signature rings.

I use the scope base from Rimfire Technologies that way I can use Burris Quick Detach rings when I want to
shoot open sights. The base gives you a HUGE range of rings to choose from...

I’d buy one of these or perhaps one of the other dozen or so that I have that are not shown in this pic
