Mine was a CZ 550FS in 6.5x55.  That rifle (and my brother's identical 550) both shot 1/2 moa all day long out to 200yd w/140 gr.  loads. (200 yd. was as long a range as we had easy access to). 

Cheers

You know, the simple truth is that pretty much all of the CZ bolt guns I have owned, were far more accurate than American production rifles. I found myself surprised...as in "ok it wasn't me" when I finally got around to trying CZ and discovered that they were so accurate. Some might point out that the single set trigger function was a factor- and I wont deny that. But still, as my 557 proves, even without the SST CZ rifles shoot rings around a lot of more common domestic offerings. THAT is what endeared me of cz rifles. Quality, performance, accuracy.
I have been through several LE sniper schools, and the accuracy of the rifles used (almost all were Rem 700s) was no better than the CZ rifles I use today.
At one point, I owned a Polish Mauser rifle that was set up in scout rifle configuration in .308. My first shooting session after sighting in was two one-hole groups at 100 yards. But that was a specialty rifle, and I am confident that those two groups were as much luck as effort. Yes, I saved the targets for a time for bragging rights...I am confident that my CZs are as capable.
Build it right, the old way. Provide something for a decent price that outshines other offerings. That's what brought me to CZ bolt guns.

They have now stopped making the models that did all that. Like fast food chains famous for roast beef sandwiches trying to expand sales by offering fish sandwiches. But, I have my older CZs, and am always on the lookout for "new" (to me) other purchases of the older models.

All of my CZ rifles have single stage triggers. The 452's and 455 came like this and the CZ 527's have had their set triggers adjusted to single stage. You won't see set triggers on many bench rest rifles. The set trigger while it can be set very light sets up vibrations and movement before the firing pin begins to fall. A set trigger needs something to strike the fly and knock the trigger off the sear when the triggers pressed. All that means movement and vibration, trivial as it may be. I would be inclined to think that the quality of the barrel finish before getting hammer forged would be a greater contributor to accuracy.

I don't know, fact of the matter is that all my CZ rifle's out-shoot me. I like the single set for sighting in, but that's all I use it for. When I picked up my 270, someone had set the SST off, so I had to re-set that function.
At best I consider myself a decent shot, by no means a really good one. So the differences people sometimes talk about would be lost in my hands. But I get by.

The only CZ rifle I own is a 750 S1M1, it is designed for police and military purpose.
I also owned a WINCHESTER 70 STEALTH II which shoots even better than the CZ 750.
Both of them are 26.0'' heavy barrels twist 1:10'' (.308 Win.).
