I do wish CZ would sweep the bolt handle back and push it out from the stock about 1/8" like on the standard CZ 550's. The stock clearance I can see. But, on the hard kickers chambered in the 550 Africans, would it not it be better to move the knob forward a bit as on the AHR conversions?

I bent my bolt knob, actually I had it done, it always hit my finger, and now it isn't a problem at all.

Handled a used one of these a few days ago and the only complaint I could see was I thought the bolt handle rode a little to close to the stock to get a good grasp on it. Are they all like this or is it just me? I know a fair amount of people, myself included, have the bolt handle straightened and filled or replaced on their CZ's. You would think, since it's such a common customization, CZ would address the issue.

I would sure move that scope a bit further forward - I'd be flirting with a big cut over my left eye were it mine.

Good pick up GR1. I shoot with a very upright head position (I've been told) hence the position of the scope.
The scope doesn't spend much time on there. I love the express sights and have competed in some Big Bore range events. They are an absolute hoot with not much prone shooting involved.

I had my bolt handle bent out as well, but mostly to get it out where an upsweep move with my hand to work the bolt from the shoulder quickly would not miss the bolt knob. A most unnacceptable outcome for such a rifle.

Well after over 100 rounds the rifle is fine. I got one with good bedding. I had the bolt handle straightened, slightly bent out and rust blued. Much better. ![[Linked Image]](http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm217/Tophet1/DSCF0801.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm217/Tophet1/DSCF0804.jpg)

Close to 250 rounds in mine - zero problems.

I guarantee that at 250 rounds I would have problems...with my shoulder.  Looks like you have it tuned up and dialed in.

LOL - 250Rounds in 10 years. The Shoulder is fine.
One time I ran the whole magazine empty as fast as I could hit a paper plate at 25 yards. My whole back was sore. But, I will do it again.
