I have a Winchester Model 70 Classic Stainless in .375 H&H. The tupperware stock sucks. Recoil is a little heavy, too. My thoughts:

Definitely a new stock , get 2-3 " lopped off the barrel and install a brake, maybe sell it and get another CZ, what do you all think?

eric,

I had the exact same problem and ideas....here is what I did with pics included.

I have the same rifle and I decided to live with it as-is.

I am a cz fiend so you know what my answer will be

How does it shoot? Mine will shoot into 3/4" or less at 100 yards all day long. Try putting a decelerator pad on and see if that helps. You might also try starting out with some lighter loads, and work your way up slowly to the heavier stuff.

Like 500grains, I was lucky enough to get one that works fine as is.

Like mikeh416Rigby, mine shoots 3/4 MOA, for 3 shots at 100 yards.

As is, it is a great go-to-beater-rifle that can take some abuse with no worries.

The recoil is not heavy, and the only alteration I wanted was to get the pull 14" instead of 13.5". To approximate this, I slip on a Pachmayr slip-on black medium pad. It is really gentle then. Great beater. I JB Welded some Leupold QRW bases to the gun and adjusted the trigger myself to 3.5#. The new Leupold QRW bases with the square cross slot recoil stops are great. No more Leupold bases mashed like dog doodoo.

It is a perfect beater rifle in my book.
