What caliber would you like to CZ bring out that isn't already.

Mine would be the 25-06

6.5 Grendel in the little 527 carbine.

I'd like to see an 8x57 in the 550FS!

.300 Weatherby in the 550 with a nice piece of wood!

221 Fireball in the 527 Varmint. Also, a 527 American in 17 Ackley Hornet.

7x57mm · « **Reply #5 on:** October 27, 2005, 04:30:52 PM »

I'd like the company to pull its head out of its butt with a pop and bring back the 7x57mm in both the CZ 550 American and CZ 550 Full Stock. That said, I see way too many people out there in love with the .25/06 caliber to not offer the CZ 550 in .25/06. What I don't want to see the company do is hype the short mags and super short mags.

I would like to see the big safari magnum bought out in .338 Lapua

Buckfever · « **Reply #7 on:** October 28, 2005, 03:18:12 AM »

I would like to see a 8x? so we had a thumper with true 350yd range, without the recoil of the 338. Maybe a 8mmx06? Buckfever

I would love to see the 527 carbine chambered in .32-20, but I doubt the rimmed cases would work well. So I think I would settle for the .30 M-1 carbine round. :grin:

jerkface11 · « **Reply #9 on:** October 29, 2005, 02:39:58 AM »

The 527 carbine in 5.45x39 or 6.5 grendle :grin:

I've been waiting forever for a non Weatherby Co. to chamber a rifle in a .257 Weatherby Mag. A CZ would be a perfect platform. I'm in the process of having a rifle rebarreled, for my son, in 250-3000 Savage. I'll take that in a CZ also. CRASH87

cal sibley · « **Reply #11 on:** November 08, 2005, 07:49:55 PM »

I'd very much like to see CZ make a .25-06 rifle, and with a 24" barrel. It should have at least a .60 barrel diameter at the muzzle. Best wishes.

6.8 Rem SPC in 527 carbine.

pc · « **Reply #13 on:** November 14, 2005, 12:07:08 AM »

Even a plain old .338 win mag would be nice, and a .300 RUM

anthony passero · « **Reply #14 on:** November 15, 2005, 03:04:20 PM »

280 Remington/7x64 Brennecke

Rscout6945 · « **Reply #15 on:** January 27, 2006, 06:08:43 PM »

I would love to see a 527 in 7.62x39/6.8 SPC/6.5 Grendel with a 22 inch barrel in that awesome spring camo stock!

jerkface11 · « **Reply #16 on:** January 28, 2006, 02:19:57 AM »

How bout a .257 roberts.

Charlie1947 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 29, 2006, 08:45:54 AM »

:lol: I would be so happy with a .35 Whelen!

600 OK , 550 magnum

Rogue Ram · « **Reply #21 on:** February 20, 2006, 06:08:45 PM »

.338 win Mag. CZ needs to offering the 550 in STAINLESS with a REAL fiberglass stock such as the McMillan. Offer express sights, and offer it in .338 Win, and/or .338 RUM, and of the .300 mags, and .375 HH for sure. Winchester is history, CZ should jump into this niche.

I alway kind of thought the plastic stocks were junk, keep with the wood CZ!! As I still am, but going around buying a few model 70's tons of the plastic stocks but the walnut blue is getting harder to find in stores..

GrampaMike · « **Reply #23 on:** March 24, 2006, 08:29:11 AM »

I am with Babe915, the 260 Remington, the best unknown cartridge. If they called it the 6.5mm-08 may help now since people are liking/understanding the metric designations these days.

coyote trapper1928 · « **Reply #24 on:** March 24, 2006, 09:35:44 AM »

A left hand varmint rifle

blacky1755 · « **Reply #25 on:** March 27, 2006, 03:51:10 AM »

257 Roberts - gets my vote :lol:

Atlatl · « **Reply #26 on:** April 06, 2006, 01:13:13 PM »

In the 527 - 6.8 REm SPC (ballistics match for the old .250 Savage)

In the CZ 550 bring the 7x57 back!! Just ain't importing them I guess as they're still making them.

GEMSBUCK · « **Reply #27 on:** April 18, 2006, 05:46:27 AM »

In the 550 American Safari Mag CZ would've been wiser to bring out the.416 Remington Mag rather than the 416 Rigby who's ammo is too costly.

verhoositz · « **Reply #28 on:** April 22, 2006, 07:31:48 AM »

Lots of good suggestions here..but I'll step on this slippery slope and make a few too.

No brainers that I see are missing in 550 Americans, and/or including Lux & FS's: 338WMg, 338/06 A Square, 300Wmg w/1x10 twist for 200 gr'ers - all in the double pin'ed 9.3x62 styled stock and drop the Lux Medium Magnum idea altogether, 35 Whelen, 7 RemMg, 7-08 - no excuse in not already having this !, 7x57 limited import if necessary but import some at least in Lux & FS's, 260, 25/06, limited annual order import in 9.3x64 Brenneke - I'd buy one! & 7x64 Brenneke at least in Lux style.

Best of the best in Weatherby calibers by US sales of Weatherby caliber ammo #'s - 300WBy #1, 257Wby #2, and so on for 3 or 4+ ? calibers.

Short Mags are a non issue at this point...but if they are to be included I'd stay in the small handfull of steady sellers with a future according to ammo/new brass sales: 300WSM and 270WSM plus maybe 325WSM but I have no clue what platform to put them in. Kimber solved that but I'm not sure even they are selling enough to justify the expense.

Safari grade 416 Remington in all stock styles because of Rigby ammo availability not to mention cost issue and triple+ the sale rate of 416 Rigby's maybe to equal the # of 375's sold.

Consistent annual offering of Premier Grade 550 Americans in more than just two calibers to compete with Kimber LA's....probably quaduple the market in bigger calibers instead of wasting high grade wood in 527's. Leave the 452/453's alone. Period.

Maybe use Remmy's idea of a "caliber of the year" for a Premier outside of the current 270/30'06 to create more sell through and instant collectors interest. 257 Roberts, 300 Savage, 8x57 etc oldies but goodies with limited sales numbers. I shot the barrel out of a pre USRAC M70 Featherweight push feed and still regret selling it...but won't buy another Roberts of anything on the market today.

I was going to order a CZ Premier 270 in February until Kimber began to ship LA's...now I'll wait to see a Kimber Classic Select and then decide.

Custom shop special orders: For example I would probably buy a 375 Taylor (375x338) in a 9.3 styled stock, or maybe something else like that....9.3x66 SAKO, 300 H&H

?

And the whole Issue of Stainless w/ synthetic stocks will have to addressed sooner or later...but "just" this list to begin with would make a big difference in picking up the slack from Winchester's wood/blue steel Classic/Featherweight would be buyers for a true CRF rifle.

Speaking from the voice of 13 years personal experience in the industry... Stay OUT of the big box retailers like Wally World and rest of the price choppers, let Big Green suck on that price point "profit maker" category all they want. Savage has got to winning that battle! Key your advertising support to your dealer direct and distributor programs and you will continue to grow. JMHO

I would like to see the 550 Varmint Laminated in 243 wsm. I am not the biggest fan of "hammer" forged barrel's but the rest of my CZ's shoot great so they must be doing somthing right.
