Just for the heck of it, on another forum there's a fellow who asked a question about a CZ 550 and what people's opinion were of them. Well, I am a firm believer of the rifle, as well as a firm believer of the CZ 527 as well. Anyway, I posted my opinion about the rifles. Then this other fellow said he came across some CZ 550s in a store all with the detachable magazines had plastic detachable magazines. He said he wanted to give the rifles the benefit of the doubt so he picked one up, worked the bolt and said it had the most creep he had ever felt in a rifle, he put it back down and never looked back. I found the statement rather odd because Ididn't think CZ came out with an all plastic magazine in its CZ 550 line. I know that some of the CZ 550s, I think the 2000 and 2001 models had plastic floor plates, but not an all plastic magazine. So, is the magazine on the CZ 550s, the detachable magazine that is, all plastic. Or, is it part plastic. I'm just curious. I don't mind someone having a negative opinion of the rifles, or of any rifle for that matter. But if the CZ 550s have an all-steel magazine then the fellow is spreading some wrong information. Thanks for any replies ... Tom Purdom
