I had two out of the box shitty Winchester Safari Express rifles...one so bad that the factory bought it back from me...one in 375 H&H and one in 416 Rem.

The 550 CZ in 416 Rigby I owned was an excellent rifle. It did crack its first stock after the first three rounds fired, but the warrenty station in Kansas supplied me with an acceptable stock ASAP.

I am of the firm opinion that one shouldn't buy a rifle that must be ordered in. Buy a good one off the shelf, or tell the merchant to get one in and call you when it arrives...still his merchandise, not your mess if it isn't right.
