Hi guys,
I have a couple of rimfire rifles by CZ/BRNO .22lr's and .17hmr's and I am considering adding a CZ 550 .243 to my hunting rifles, the two I had in mind were (detach mags):-
the Standard or American

what do you think, what opinion's, I am after a cheap but accurate no frills rifle and it would seem the 550's would fit the bill perfectly?

nico,
I have never owned or shot a CZ 550, but I know several that have. Every one had nothing but praise for them. I have some of their rimfires and have owned a couple of 527's. They all were excellent shooters. If you happen to get a bad one it will be the exception. They are a lot of gun for the money. :grin:
Best,
TnNuc

Hello...

I have a CZ 550 Safari Magnum in .375 H&H. I have been very satisfied with it. It is a very robust rifle. Workmanship is excellent. I have had no problems with it. Accuracy is above and beyond what I would normally expect from a production rifle. I think CZ products are an extremely good value for the money.

Cheers,
Gary

I have a CZ550 Prestige in .30-06 and absolutely love the rifle. It is incredibly accurate and is free-floated from the factory. The rifle is finished well, and just feels right to me. Did I mention that it is extremely accurate? IMHO, you can't go wrong with the CZ 550.
Good hunting!

cheers guys, I have decided to get two, one in .243" and a bit later on a second one in .308", what do you guys think of the single set trigger?
I will almost definately get both in "AMERICAN" style as these have clean barrels, and I want to fit moderators to both of them at a later date :-)

I don't have a 550 but 3 527's, I love the single set trigger, got mine to break at 2 1/2 lbs with no creep or overtravel on all three.
