MTM,

I agree every 550 I've handled up here in Canada has been excellent fit and finish. I prefer the Brno's however, they seem to fit me better, and I like them better than the 550 (just personal opinion). But I wouldn't turn down a new 550! I'm glad CZ is making quality guns at a decent affordable price in big calibers.

I've got a bunch of new in box Hornady 458 Lott brass, and Hornady .458 projectiles, so I need to find a Brno in 458, hate to have components sitting on the shelf waiting to be loaded and used.
