Interesting enough, I went to lunch today at the local deli ---went by the magazine rack to get something to read while having lunch...picked up "RIFLE" magazine---really good article in there on this very subject...giving the history of the model 70 from 1936 to 2008 --but also discussed the various mauser type actions including the 550...per the article --is it shown to be a CRF..,mmmm...

Anyway, pretty much the entire issue, which is the October issue, is devoted to discussing various action types...if interested you might want to check it out..I was in a hurry but plan to read it tonight when I head home...

One note I found interesting for those wishing to build a custom..the article stated that Brownells sells both the Dakota and CZ actions...and it states "both CRF actions"...again, mmmmm.....

Later
