Was not especially easy rifle to locate, and the USPS did everything possible to derail the deal, but eventually it appeared at my FFL guy. CZ got this rifle right!

What caliber would you be looking for in a 550 platform? To say the CZ FS platform is one of my absolute favorite platforms is likely an understatement. Each of them is accurate and a joy to shoot!

If you get in the position of actively looking for a 550FS or 527FS, shoot me a note! I have a couple duplicates I’ve been contemplating letting go!

I am humbled in your presence, sir. You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.

I have two 452s and even though I have gotten use to the safety I find it the only downfall to an otherwise outstanding rifle.

After using it for a while I found myself wishing that all safeties were a pull back rather than a push forward, it is a more natural movement to pull the safety back while shouldering the rifle rather than pushing it forward. But then I have never been challenged by having to push a 10-22 safety sideways or opertating a tang safety either. drover 223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers. 24hourcampfire.com - The site where there is a problem for every solution.

The stock gave me considerable pause before I dropped the coin. Kind of surprised it passed inspection, frankly.
