I have the FS version, but like it very much. Yes, heavy at 10 lbs scoped in 6.5x55. I like it, and would not hesitate to get another.

I did have to do some bedding work, but frankly, expect that from any factory rifle I buy.

I am also a set-trigger fan.

I owned a 527 with set trigger that when set was a few ounces. My 550 has a set trigger weight of about 1.5 lbs, which is to say it is in essence merely a light trigger, not really a set trigger in the traditional sense of an extremely light release. Regardless, I like it, too. I do understand some folks do not.
