So I shot my rifle today and I was pretty happy with it. I found out that the action is really only sticky when you work the action with no cartridges. When its loaded, the action works pretty smoothly. Regardless, I'll still have the action worked on. I shot offhand with open sights in my backyard at a steel drum which was about 90 yards away. My first 4 shots were in a 4 inch group, pretty good for the first time I fired this gun. I really could not tell where I was hitting at first, but I walked up to check it out and, low and behold, I shot a decent group! So far I am pleased with the CZ 550.
