New stock design for 550 FS - available in 6.5x55?

[atticus]

I have seen pictures of the new 550 FS stock on a 6.5x55 on the Real Guns website (not a 30-06, actually a 6.5x55).  The new design features different checkering, and a more pronounced grip cap, along with a different cheek piece on the butt.  But I am not sure whether the new stock is available thru CZ USA (or if it was somehow an import).  Does anyone know whether the new stock design is now available in the US on a 6.5x55?  Thanks.

You can ask CZ-USA directly, 1-800-955-4486, other than that, I have no idea. Have you asked Real Guns if it is a for-sale item or if itis a one of custom job?

Thanks.  I have e-mailed CZ USA, phone call is next.  Thanks for the number.  From what I saw on the Real Guns site, it appeared to be regular stock item, not custom made.

If you are thinking about this pattern, http://s158.photobucket.com/albums/t119/2fewdaysafield/?action=view&current=newczfs1.jpg , its a stock pattern that seems to be showing up periodically for about a year now in several different calibers. I've seen pics of it in at least .243 and 6.5x55. I want one in the worst way, but haven't been able to find one.

That's the stock.  Same basic idea as the ordinary 550 FS, but with different pattern checkering, different cheek piece, longer grip cap, and I believe perhaps a more acute grip piece radius.  I'm holding off getting the 6.5x55 until I can get one with this stock.  I believe that it has been offered in other calibers, but I also believe it has been available in the 6.5x55.  We'll see.

I don't have a FS 6.5x55, but I do have a regular stock that I picked up about 6-8 months ago with that pattern.

If you will contact Jason (manofsteele) on this board, he can probably find one for you.

Just looked at mine.  Has the new checkering.  No fancy grip cap or different cheek piece.
