Big_Redhead Campfire Tracker Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 5,950 Michigan	Originally Posted by Dogger And about the CZ-550, I passed on one a few years back... and am wondering what makes it "a solid factory rifle built the old way"? I ain't being a smart aleck here, i truly want to know... so i can go kick myself for passing on that CZ-550 6.5x55... I bought a Ruger M77 MkII 7x57 instead... Dogger, IMO, you made the right choice by a mile. I have own multiples of both and the CZ-550 doesn't even come close to the Ruger M77MkII in many ways. If you ever decide to get rid of that Ruger, contact me please. Thanks. Our God reigns. Harrumph!!! I often use quick reply.

That's why I don't care much for the older Winchester, Rugers, or commerical Mausers. The Model 700s & the New FN Winchesters make the cut. You mean like this out of the box? Or maybe one of these "out of the box" beauties...: Last edited by jorgeI; 09/23/10. A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance.

Frequently they try to hammer the bolt open with a rock after shooting a load that's too hot. The Model 70 bolt is constructed the same way a Mossberg bolt is ancan cause a dangerous situation if they aren't tack welded. How do we know the target is valid? Maybe 10 yards. Maybe a Remington.

Maybe shot last night. I shot these two last night for you as well, the first one is a 1962 Vintage 338 at 10 yards and the second target is a pre-war (1941) 300 H&H and that one was at 20 yards just for you. And just to piss you off even more, I'd rather hit a body appendage with a ball peen hammer than own one of those POS with the glued on bolt handle that looks like a throat lozenge, flimsy sheet metal extractor, fail on fire safety that can't even lock the bolt (just google 700 safety and law suits) and looks like a hurst shifter. Valid? what is valid is you obviously swam at the shallow end of the gene pool.... A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance.
