My CZ 550 in .404 Jeffery had a feed issue from the start & the worse trigger I've ever had bar none!
It would not pick up any rounds at all; the ordinary trigger pull was terrible & the set trigger was hit & miss affair, being only sometimes it would actually work.
As it was a display gun I didn't have much of a come back & it was bought sight unseen.
I ended up putting a tapered block in the back of the mag well (held with a lock-tighted screw)to force the follower to tilt forwards.

I got the idea of a bloke in the US who had the same issue as myself!
Yes I did try to stretch the z spring but to no avail!
Once this was done it functioned perfectly & I didn't lose any mag capacity (5), but I have to seat my cast projectiles a bit deeper that I prefer, I'm not sure how they will go when I load them up a bit (Group 2 loads for BGR) hopefully they will not seat too far back into the powder space!

As a safari classic it should have come factory bedded & better wood - well better than a work gun timber than I got! I can live with those issues - but the thing that annoys me more than anything is that CZ (Winchester Australia is their agent here) didn't want to do anything about it - I didn't even a single reply to my emails!
These are not cheap rifles (well compared to some of the stuff you guys have); but these should be at least functioning correctly when they leave the factory.
Not Happy Jan!
I feel sorry for the poor buggers with they .416's!
It's a shame CZ have such a good reputation here in OZ, they are good rifles - just need a few fixes that's all....like a bolt disassembly like the old Mauser, coning apart totally with no tools!
And some to check that the bloody thing works as it should be fore it leaves the factory!
