[QUOTE="FAL Shot, post: 581801, member: 27328"] The only "problem" I have seen with CZ rifles is in the new free floated barrels in wood stocks. The air gap on either side of barrel is often not even, but it is common on most other brands as well. I have never seen a new CZ where it was touching. That problem generally goes away when you have the action glass bedded. My CZ 550 is slightly off in this manner, but accuracy is not affected. My gunsmith says it will be taken care of this winter when I have the action glass bedded. I ordered my CZ 550 sight unseen, and the slight misalignment of the barrel does not bother me as I intended to glass bed in the future. The fact it came with near custom quality walnut with lots of figure makes up for the small inconvenience of doing the barrel alignment. I notice that CZ walnut stocked rifles come in very plain to near custom quality as far as wood goes. If you have a large dealer with several on display or several dealers in your area, you may find a very beautiful walnut stock. I went to 4 different local dealers to buy a CZ 452 American, and bought the one with the nicest stock. It was the cheapest, but the difference in price was worth it. Phil [/QUOTE]
