Cz itself are stopping production of everything including the 375 as of next year, a batch of 375 is coming in but then that's it. No more big bores at all. Not sure if CZ USA will still make seeing there market is still active.

They make great rifles, the bolt stripping process is easy - if you only want to get to main parts, to completely strip is a painful process.
The ZKK bolt shroud was by far the nicest looking (to me), it is a shame that they didn't have a mauser system to strip - perhaps royalties are still involved?
Their Peep sight was the crowning glory to me.

That is a shame. They made a great rifle and the CZ550 an the ZK series were an affordable big calibre rifles. Not excellent as some needed work done but good functional rifles that could be turned into great rifles for way less then the cost of one from a bespoke rifle maker.

Yeah they stopped making them a while ago, however apparently there is still some new old stock around.

At the time there was talk about the machinery being worn out and not profitable enough to invest in new machinery.

if this were still WW 2 machines they make 98 k mauser once? this would explaining the good price they could work for because the machines were paid for decades ago.

Schultz&Larsen in denmark had the same problem but they were using german machines from WW 1. they change than for new CNC machinery. only the barrel making machinery was completely refurbish because such machines were not on the market anymore.
