I got to handle a new CZ 550 in 6.5X55 the other day.
They have a redesigned stock.
BIG IMPROVMENT. at least to me. Its much more stream Lned. just a hint of a cheek piece.the checkering is very much like a sako with the gaps beetween the panels.
I could do without the CZ logo stamped on the grip cap.
This rifle was alot lighter and would be better in the woods than the 2 czs I sold.
But still more than I want to haull around in a 6.5 mauser.
If they chamber that style stock in a 7 mag or a 300. I am all over it. A 9.3X62 would cool too.
I still would rather just have a decent conventional trigger but I can live with the one CZ puts in.
The wood was real nice. I guess they are done in checoslovokia.
The new winchester will have some serious compatition from the CZ550s.
