I have a CZ 550 in 9.3X62 and would not hesitate to recommend both the rifle and the round. It does kick, but it is more of a push than a sharp wrap. The CZ's are know to be a bit on the heavy side with the wood stock, but this is a good thing for recoil. Most important would be a rifle that fits well. I have had several the kicked the sh*&^ out of me off the bench. One was a model 70 in 06 the other a Mauser with a Bishop stock in 8mm, neither know as a hard kicker. The CZ is accurate, mine shoots MOA with several loads and as a bonus basically shoots to the same point of impact with bullet weights from 232 to 286. Some up and down, but same center point. Also it is basically rather cheap for a DG rifle. Nice wood as well. The bolt was a bit rough but smoothed up with use. The set trigger had a bit of grit used in normal non set mode but a quick pass with a stone on the sear fixed that. CRF as well with a 5 round magazine. To me a lot of value for the money.
