As most of you know, I've had a CZ Model 550 Classic (American) in 7x57 since 2003; a first-rate, quality rifle. It had the American-style stock with a really nice checkering pattern, and once I opened up the barrel channel a little it shot like a son-of-a-gun! here's a picture of that rifle:



Unfortunately, that stock had a little bit of a problem right where it contacted the bolt handle, and it recently cracked right along that blemish. CZ provided outstanding service when this happened, and very quickly issued a new stock to me.

I just received it yesterday - it's quite a bit different from the original stock I had; I don't have any pictures yet, but it looks just like this one:



Aside from the different checking pattern, it has a darker finish. I miss my old stock, but this certainly seems to be a very nice, good-quality, walnut stock. I could be wrong, but it also seems lighter where weight is concerned.

The barreled action dropped right in, and I'm looking forward to taking it to the range and giving it a try. Hopefully, I won't have to do too much fiddling with the barrel channel etc. - hunting season is closing in, and I can't wait to take her out!

I want to take a moment to give huge thanks to Neale at CZ-USA. His help and assistance, as well as the lightning-fast service, were top quality, and is very much appreciated. I've always been a fan of the CZ 550, due to its performance, and it's great to see such outstanding service, as well.

Good to hear! CZ USA, particularly Jason and Harlan at the Custom Shop have been very good with me.
