i was looking at a cz 550 375h&h at the gun shop and thought the trigger looked really weak. is there an after market trigger that is stronger and wider like a remington trigger?

Put a trigger shoe on it and call it good? The CZ's are set trigger format IIRC and not flimsy. If your 'smith adjusts the pull down to about 3 pounds or so, the set function is defeated (but I didn't like or want it anyway).

If you are a seriuos shooter,you need a new trigger,a Timney,installed by a good smith.

With my CZ 458 Lott I have the set trigger set up. But I don't use it and shooting it is no problem. I measured it and If I recall without using the set trigger it is 3 lbs with it its 1.5 lbs. Thats way to light for my Lott.

AHR makes a good trigger for the CZ

I second the trigger shoe addition. Did this to my 550FS in 9.3 and it helped my shooting a great deal. I think the problem is not the trigger it's self but the smallish feel when placing the trigger finger. I have found no problem with the "function" of the CZ trigger and the "shoe" makes it feel just right.

I second Rob's opinion---AHR makes a fantastic trigger for the CZ's

yzm19,

the Cape Buffalo I shot in December did not mind my using a CZ, and making proper use of that flimsy set trigger either. He just fell down and was dead a couple minutes later. Some prefer deactivating the factory trigger, some advocate replacing it with a Timney; but there is nothing wrong with it "as issue". I have four of them, and they all work just fine.

Mine all work also, but this next one will see experimentation concerning the trigger.

One can shoot cape buff with a set trigger.He can even shoot hundreds.However,if there is ever a single moment in his hunting lifetime when the shot had to be made then,in a tight circumstance,and he wanted everything in his favor,a more common or standard trigger pull is best.I've hunted with a set trigger for a few years.I've also done alot of target shooting with a really heavy trigger and then switched to normal pulls.The trigger finger should act like it doesn't know what kind of let-off it will encounter.

My CZ 9.3X62 has one of the best triggers of all my rifles. Very clean at about 2.5#'s; the set function is easily disabled.

Agreed.

All of mine have the AHR single stage trigger, and they all break like the proverbial thin glass rod.

The CZ 550 trigger is really weak and would require replacement.
