The recently purchased CZ550 American Safari Mdl in 416 Rigby proved to be a very good buy. The metal work is perfectly acceptable, the rifle is accurate, the factory sights are on with the 100 yard blade and Federal 410 Woodleighs, and it feeds smooth as silk. The wood is a nice dark red walnut with considerable figure...dense and straight grained in the wrist. Not enough drop to use the iron sights easily...

, however.

The machine checkering is a bit fussy, and not altogether the best of it's ilk. The recoil pad isn't that cheap waffled type on my past CZ 550's, but is a nicer rounded edge, solid side, dark gray, soft pad that doesn't hang up in clothes.

Many don't like the CZ triggers, but I have used similar set triggers for most of my life on drillings and cape guns, so I appreciate the CZ single set trigger, and its many adjustments.

All in all, for the $640.00 including shipping I paid for the rifle NIB was $$$ well spent.
