Title: New to CZs
Post by: gcp on April 10, 2010, 03:30:40 PM

Hi folks,

Today I'm the proud new owner of a slightly used 550. Saw it at my favorite gunstore yesterday and I couldn't stop thinking about it so today I had to go back and buy it. It's in 6.5x55, one of my favorite calibers, and it sure is a looker! The stock has good grain and the barrel's bluing is almost a brown, great looking finish in my point of view.

Here's a pic of my new toy, it's going shooting tomorrow so I report back on how it performs. Anything I need to keep in the back of my mind on this rifle?

Number one thing to keep in mind is that CZs are addictive...welcome to the side of the light!

Thank you guys! I'm a long time shooter, and have many rifles and pistols, to include 2 older DWs, and Tanfoglio (Italian copy of the CZ 75) but this is my first true CZ. Over the years I've heard nothing but good things about their accuracy and quality but what attracted me to this rifle was its looks, even though I am sure it'll prove to be an equally good shooter.

My 550 is indeed very accurate, and seems to like my RL22 reloads. For target and other pics please use link below:
