[QUOTE="ken snyder, post: 506366, member: 26019"] CZ is a topic all by itself. They are a good rifle with a few you need to knows. The single set triggers rumored to have problems don't, but they will make you scratch your head the first time you need to reassemble one. The set puts the trigger too far forward for smaller hands. Having an action that only will feed out of the well and will not push feed limits the c.o.a.l. without machining. The integral scope mounts limit conventional scope mounting placement and selection. 20 minute bases are available but require drill and tap. With all of those short comings the CZ 550 magnum actions probably have a 5 to 1 build rate for 338 lapua and 338-378 rifles in my local area. The cz also has the annoying habbit of the barrels being put on so tight particularly their safari rifles that the barrel has to be ringed with a parting tool ( groove cut around the barrel ahead of the action) to remove the barrel which cost wise might put an end to some choices of tuneing. They are a good accurate rifle that makes a very good semi-custom platform, but if you don't have a specific criteria of design features needed Those features can turn into overkill and be the wrong choice.
