Re: CZ Safari Classic 550 Quality Issues

All guns have warts, but to give a specific example, my Rugers have had far fewer warts than my two CZ's, and from what I have read and from what I have seen from handling others, CZ's seem to have allot of warts.

They can be cleaned up, but require allot more "Compound W" than my Rugers, SAKO, Remingtons, Savage, Mausers, Marlins, Winchesters, etc...




I've been trying to stay out of this thread, but I can't stand by without pointing out that CZ does do it right sometimes. My CZ 550 FS in 6.5x55mm works very well, right out of the box. It has a very nice stock, a very nice trigger, and it is very accurate. It does push feed, which I suppose is a flaw, but it's an insignificant flaw on a non-DG rifle. The average 100-yard group size is 0.9 inches, and the worst group it has ever shot was 1.5 inches, with a 4x scope. It regularly produces groups around 0.7 inch and equally often about 1.1 inches. It has never failed to feed, and has never failed to fire. The action does not feel "slick" like my Sako 75, but it is quite functional. I'm planning to carry the CZ as my backup rifle on a handgun hunt for wild hogs this spring.
