CZ owners?

I had the same dilemma a few months back when I bought my CZ 550. After handling both different style, I opted for the American stock because it felt better but it's a matter of personal preference.

I asked the same question in this thread and I got some good input from other CGN'ers

i was looking to buy a 550 a while ago. i didnt. i bought a 452 instead. from my digging. the lux is for shooting irons and gives issues with getting a goos cheak weld when have a scope.
 
Yes - the hogback is great for iron sights (other straight styles are such that you cant even get close to using the supplied iron sights).
However with a scope, you have a chin weld more than a cheek weld. That is not fatal - it is just a different style of shooting. More of a quick, heads up, shot style rather than a prone, long range style.

I use them when I think I may shed the scope and go with the irons - on my 416 for instance.

I use a neoprene shell holder with a 1/2 inch pad under it to raise the comb when the scope is in use for a little more weld - but if I must shed the scope, the pad can come off in seconds.
 
X2 on farshot. Also, if you are using it on a mag chambering ensure you have the most eye relief scope you can muster. A few marks on your eyebrow or nose may result otherwise. (dont ask me how I know.;))

Very nice piece of wood there.
 
A Bravarian stock is ment for use with iron sights but that doesn't mean you can't get a good check weld if you put a scope on it. If you're dumb and put a 50mm scope on it with high scope rings than you will have a terrible time getting a good check weld. If you are smart and use low scope rings with a smaller 32mm or 35mm lense scope, it will be very comfortable to use. I had a Krico 600 Full Stock with a Bravarian style stock with a Burris Full Field 2-7x35mm scope. Not only was the rifle the most accurate rifle i have ever used, I was also very comfortable to shoot since the scope was so low. The scope had maybe 1mm clearance left before it bottomed out and the bolt hand just makes it with out touching the scope. I loved the rifle but didn't like its chambering so I sold it so I could buy a CZ 550 LUX in .270. I ordered that rifle last October and its still not here.
