Anybody have a CZ 550 and how does it shoot?

[aaron v]

I'm looking at buying a CZ 550fs and was wondering what they're like as a shooter. I like the look of the full stock and still am not sure of the caliber either. 243, 6.5x55 or 308 work but leaning towards the 308 as I have a tikka in 6.5 already. It will be used on special occasions for hunting deer and maybe bigger and lots of range time. Thanks. Aaron

I don't have a 550 but I do have a CZ and it shoots like a mother

I have never owned a CZ or Brno, however I only heard good things about these firearms.

I owned a 550 in 6.5x55. It was very accurate with many 3 shot groups under 1/2". Was just a tad heavy for me though, but a quality made rifle. The .308 comes with a magazine instead of drop floorplate.

I have a 550, shoots nice, beauty trigger, its a little on the heavy side though. ( the gun, not the trigger) Alberta would be a better place to lug one around than the coastal rainforest. I would use mine more if i lived somewhere else.

I have a 550 varmint in .308 and it makes one hole at 100 yards with 168 gr bullets

I have a CZ 550 Magnum in .375 H&H. It shoots sub 2" groups with the irons at 100yds. CZ makes a high quality firearm, and they have a great reputation.

I have a 550 in 416 Rigby. The rifle is very well made and very accurate. I would not hesitate to buy another.

I have a 550 in 270, and it shoots on average a half to three quater inch group. And the trigger is awesome. Its one gun i dont think i would ever sell! Im thinking about buying one in 375H&H or 416 Rigby, not that i need it, i just want one.

Friend has a 6.5x55 and at best it will do 1.75@ 100yards. He is selling it to buy a better quality rifle. Round count is 40. Just my experience with it

currently have 3 550's and all are great shooters

Thinking about one. Already own a CZ452 and a CZ527. Easy on the eye and accurate to boot. Makes my Ruger look thick. Waiting for 2 CZ pistols to come in too. Fit and finish are no 1 and are all a delight to shoot. People that own them tend to fondle...If I sold my Ruger I would likely replace it with a 550.

Every bullet should make one hole when they hit the paper. Glad to hear that yours are operating properly.

And what might they be chambered in ?
