Take a gander at the CZ-USA website. There's no photo, or price, or details on if thestock is wood or composit, but the company is coming out with what it calls "The Ultimate Hunting Rifle." The thing has only one caliber offering, .300 Winchester Magnum and has an accuracy guarantee of minute of angle at 1,000 yards. For you mag buffs, it might be of interest. Have a good one ...

Did you happen to notice the barrel length of only 23.6 inches?Must be a bull barrel.Not much to go on with that add.It will be interesting to say the least.

I have a gut feeling that it will be just like the other CZ 550s. Those barrels are 23.6 inches too. The info said the weight was eight pounds. I dunno. Keep in mind it took CZ at least one year from the date of announcement to birth of the CZ 527 in .221 Fireball. Tom Purdom

There is a write-up on that rifle in the current Shooting Time magazine.  According to the article, it sounds like it is going to be a rifle/scope package.
