New Guy, and a New CZ 550 FS 9.3x62
Hello AR Guys,

I'm new to your great forum. I've been visiting for a couple months from my PC at work but have showed great restraint by not registering or posting, but I've got a PC at home now (as of tonight). Thanks for the opportunity to join your crew. I have greatly enjoyed visiting and look forward to actual involvement from time to time.

Okay, now about the CZ. I actually only asked my dealer for price and availability info. To my surprise, they called me about 3 weeks later and said "your gun is in." I decided to go and just 'look' at it. Fiddleback in the butt and part of the forend. You know the drill. It begged me not to go back in the rack, so I relented and brought it home out of the goodness of my heart (I had pity on the poor, lonely thing). Lyman delivered the dies and Graf the bullets, but apparently Graf is out of stock on the cases because they didn't come. Can't wait to shoot it. My new moose gun. Now I have to go moose hunting. Darn.

Live well

CZ 550
Welcome the forums. You did well by not allowing that poor cz to stay on the rack.

Hey Big: Welcome to the forum. The CZ is just about the best thing going these days as far as I'm concerned. I have a CZ 550 American in 7x57mm Mauser and a CZ 527 in .223 Remington. I handload, of course. After seeing the accuracy and what I could do with the 7x57mm, my little bro Duffy bought a CZ 550 Full Stock in 7x57mm and it has turned into an MOA rifle with heavier 7mm bullets. Let us know how that full stock of yours shoots. I'd be interested in its kick. Thanks ... Tom Purdom [Big Grin]

good luck with you're new gun, i doubt you'll be sorry with it. I'm finding more and more that .366" is my favorite bore size, and the CZ is a fine rifle. [Wink]

The 9.3x62 is just a wonderfull caliber, its where it ought to be in velocity for maintaining the integrity of the bullet on game thus it kills all out of porpotion to its paper balistics....A properly expanding bullet is far more important than all the velocity, or bullet weight in the world....
