I had a 550 american in .243.
Shot real well. But I sold it as I did not want to lug around an 8 lb .243.
I would love one in 9.3X62 or a 7mm Rem mag.
I would like to see them build one in .375 and 416 ruger.
I did,nt mind the set trigger on the .243 But I would change it out on a 9.3X62 or If I bought a dangerious game rifle.
Simplicity is what i want in a hunting rifle. Fewer working parts means less chance of one breaking.
Timney makes a trigger for the CZ 550...tj3006
That is one of the modifications I made to mine, along with a model 70 style safety (La Pour) and a few other upgrades. Agreed that a simple trigger is better than a complicated one on a DGR, and I want no part of a hot loaded 416 Rigby with a 4oz trigger! I built mine before Timney came out with their trigger so I had Ed LaPour retrofit a NECG trigger designed for a model 98 Mauser to it. Time consuming and expensive but at the time worth it to me. Several long and arduous dangerous game hunts and kills later I would do it again.
If one wanted one of these in 375 Ruger, buying one in 300WM or 338WM and then having the original barrel re-bored and re-chambered would be a good route but no flies on a Ruger African other than the safety lever.
