Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles CZ 550 FS 6.5x55

IMO, a rifle with a mannlicher style stock is intended to be used for stalking or still-hunting and should come to the shoulder with the shooters eye aligned with the sights for a quick shot. The CZ 550 FS has, again IMO, one of the worst mannlicher-style stocks put on a regular cataloged production rifle, the others that I have found to be inferior are those on the Mossberg 800 AM/BM/CM and Winchester 70. Once you've handled a Husqvarna with a factory mannlicher-style stock all others don't quite measure up, but I've got to hand it to Ruger, they make a better than average mannlicher-style stock for the old 44 International, the 10/22s, and the 77 series RSIs.
