I came upon a CZ 550 american in 270 yesterday that looked very good - clean, nice walnut - included CZ rings. Was the $450 a good price for it - looks brand new. I never see these rifles around here so I don't know. I thought I would call on the experience of this forum. It is a rifle for my 14 year old son and he loves it but I was just curious if I got a good one?

Thanks

I guess no one is familiar with this one?

I have never had one but i think the general consensus is that they are a good solid mauser actioned rifle-i'd say at 450 you did good.

Perfectly fine rifle. Price is decent. No worries.

Good solid deal.

Thanks for the feedback - he really likes the new rifle.

Forget what you paid. If he likes it he will have confidence in it and then it is worth every penny

You did not do badly, I looked at walmart web site and a new one can be had for 525.00. I would rather go the route you did cause I would be bying site unseen and you never know what the wood will look like ...tj3006

You are dead on with that!!

He has been sitting on the couch holding it, Shouldering it and workin' the bolt while watching TV all day today.

We will sight in the scope tomorrow.

Not only did you do good, I think you will be pleased with the accuracy of your new toy. I have two CZ 550's, a 9.3x62 and a 6.5x55 both are tack drivers to say the least.
