Question to those of you who have owned both of these action types (I'm talking 1950's and younger commercial FN Mauser 98 actions in the standard length): are there any aspects that, in your opinion, make one better than the other? Quality of construction, design, etc.? The only major difference that I can see is that the ejector pins are in different positions on the clock face between the CZ and the "standard" Mauser 98 design.
Please, comments only from those who have owned and worked with these rifles; I own and have owned several commercial FN Mauser 98-based rifles, but have not handled the CZ 550. The reason that I ask is because a colleague mentioned to me how much he loves the 550 action. I have no chance to handle one locally. They're pretty rare.
Thanks!
