New CZ 550 416 Rigby with the Fancy Wood option. The wood is even nicer to the naked eye. I had the same in Field Grade awhile back and there was some things NOT to like about the rifle. This however is a different beast all together. While I've yet to shoot it, so it could still prove me wrong (as the 1st one did) this sucker is as tight and well put together as any factory bolt rifle I've seen. Tight AND tight, not a crooked bit on it anywhere so far, and although it's not slicked up it seems as though extra care was taken in regards to turning this (these?) Fancy Wood model out. I'll post a range report ASAP.

That's avery nice rig, let us know how it shoots.

Nice looking!

It has a much better than the basic setup inside for the stay mated to the front recoil lug, the one that is at the frontmost stock screw. I don't know if it's this way now on all guns but my old one, made less than a year ago, wasn't nearly as good. I'll take a pic and others can say if theirs has the same.

That looks really nice. How much is the fancy wood option over the standard stock?

I didn't think cz could come up with nice wood like this. Hope it shoots as good as it looks.

I didn't think CZ could put one together this well.

This is for sale over in the Classifieds.

Showbart, did you ever shoot it? It sure does look nice!

Yes, it's very accurate.

It is a very nice looking rifle, but for my money, at that price, I would rather have the Ruger RSM. Just my preference.

How come you are selling it? I see it listed in the classifieds.

That CZ is VERY easy on the eyes! Can't wait to see the range report!!

And with a bit of fine tuning it can turn into something special.

OzHunter!

Are those see thru rings on your rifle!??!?!

I'm always being taunted cause I do the same!!

The rifle is a mates and he has it scoped with CZ rings at the moment.
I suspect he will leave it open sighted once its set with right loads.
Low Talley mounts are another option he is looking at.

Those are both nice looking rifles.

Saw similar wood locally on a CZ 458....but think all CZs should be taken to your gunsmith for glass bedding before ever being shot...heard too many horror stories of ruined wood...just a precaution...and with the fine wood I would be doubly careful...georgous wood indeedy...

That is indeed a lovely looking piece of wood, is the checkering of equal quality?The reason I ask is that I have 4 Brnos dating from the 1950's to the early 80's, all bar 1 have beautiful Turkish walnut and well executed checkering. The later CZ's that I have seen have poor wood and lousy checkering. Not knocking CZ/Brnos as I am actually very fond of them, just curious.

My CZ 458 Lott has a Laminated Stock. Your stock

Is real Very nice looking. You can see its walnut Stock Very strong.

That's a steal for a rifle like that.
