Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only CZ 550 9.3x62 in a McMillan Stock - VERY picture heavy

Free miner asked me to post pictures - here they are
I did the bedding job, I got the stock off the McMillan internet specials. After bedding I had them change the recoil pad, after which they touched up the paint so it looks pretty nice. Shoot well too.

Whats the weight scoped?

Thanks

Between 7lbs 12oz, and 8.2 lbs IIRC

I'll have to look it up.

That is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

Thanks.

Ok I checked it, unloaded it's ~7lbs 14oz. Load it and it's just over 8lbs.

It just a bit front heavy but other than that it's a sweet rig.

It would be interesting to cut it down a hair to balance it out just a shade better.

Hard to beat it the way it is right now though

I think I need to follow your lead. My 550 American 9.3X62 has nice wood that feels like it has all the grace of a 2'X6" plank.

Spotshooter,

thanks, I appreciate you taking the time to post these.

Very nice rig.

no problem, John B got peaked my interest in the 9.3 and aside for the heavy wood on the CZ it's a very nice outfit.

I'm still surprised how accure the rifle shoots.

Yeah, but what about tradition, nostalgia, the 9.3x62 is a traditional cartridge that should be dressed in European walnut, short forend or a manlicher stock, not PLASTIC, that is akin to child molestation, sex with animals, or sodomy and you will be chasing rabbits and howling at the moon within a few weeks!

At,

i'm just enjoying the best of both worlds, 9.3x62 in a package I can hump over the rockys without getting tired.

All good.

Spot....you have an all together go anywhere rifle that is a do-all without much meat damage....good choice and good hunting!

cheers!

Thanks for the pics, I have the same stock on order with McMillan. I have had their CZ AHR pattern stock on my 9.3x62 for about three years now and I wanted a longer LOP. I'll post pics when it arrives, should be any week now as I ordered on 1/31/09.

Oregon, would you mind posting a pic of the AHR pattern?

Was the barreled action originally an FS?

Have any of y'all shot one of these in the CZ FS? I have no need what ever for one but keep feeling this strong pull to have one. That much recoil just for deer hunting.....? Looking at one now, trying to resist.

CZ AHR pattern, %50/50 red and black. This is an exceptionally fast handling stock with a narrow comb, swept back grip and narrow foreend. If you're a bench crawling group shooter look elsewhere; if you love to carry a rifle, this is the stock for you. Too bad McMillan discontinued them The barreled action was from an FS model 9.3x62:

I think I like it better than a FS. That is a very trim rifle. Any idea what the weight is with the Mc stock?

8lbs
