Just fondled one at a local dealer's shop. I really like the full-feeling stock design and balance of the rifle. The one thing I have to wonder about is the bolt handle being very nearly buried in the stock cutout. There isn't much ball to grab is there? There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | ||

I also think it is one the weak points of the CZ 550. I wish they would put a nice knob on the end. _________________________________ AR, where the hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history become the nattering nabobs of negativisim. | |||

For the price of, and quality you are getting, having a better bolt handle installed on the CZ is money well spent, In my opinion so is a better safety. Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship Phil Shoemaker Alaska Master guide FAA Master pilot NRA Benefactor www.grizzlyskinsofalaska.com | |||

Have the same problem with a later production CZ/BRNO ZKK 602. I'm building a surplus BRNO 98/22 into a 458 and i'm thinking of leaving the bolt handle sticking straight out as in military design-it will make a great wild hog rifle {purpose intended}! The handle can allways be changed later. | |||

Phil, What kind of safety do you recommend for the CZ? I like the Gentry 3-position safety on my Whitworth .375 but am open to suggestions. I'm thinking about getting a bigger bolt handle on my .416 (something like a Model 70/Dakota 76 type) and may as well have it all done at once. John | |||

Phil, would you mind sharing what you don't like about the CZ safety? There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||
