If the CZ 550 Action is rough cycling, then I have encounered new Rugers, new Winchesters and new Remingtons that are just as rough. Some cycling of the action a couple of hundred times took care of all of them just fine. CZs and the others smooth up real nice. As far as the clubby feel, I stand 5'9'' tall, weigh 150 lbs and that rifle fits me perfectly. To me, there is a world of difference between the feeling of a club and a rifle stock, however, I am not one to shoulder a club either. The CZ stocks do have a bit more wood on them than Rugers and the Winchester FTW, but it still feels like rifle to me when I hoist the CZ to my shoulder. Tom Purdom
