My first cz dissapointment, box mag very difficult to load and it fed poorly due to so much action and so little bullet I feel. I have decided that the floor plate, ie. 30/06's & .375's etc. cz's and there mini mausers are great but there .308 length rifles are not good due to trying to make do with a big action for .308 length rounds, the mag box is not great they would have been better just having a floor plate !! | ||

I believe it is 1 in 14 and that since 60 gr is at the top end of it's stabilizing ability you will need to try them in your individual gun. Mine shoots the 55s, but i havn't tried the 60s, good luck. Ricky | |||

I agree it's a 1:14, and mine will stabilize (and groups quite well) the Sierra and Hornady 60 gr hp's. I have not tried the Vmax or Nos BT's. It will likely be on edge of stabilization, only way to know is to try. | |||

Maybe it's nest just to stick to 55 gr or 50 gr bullets. I am thinking Nosler BT's at this point. Rifle SHOULD be here today, then I will be just waiting for my scope which is getting re-finished at spradlins it was a silver 6.5-20x40 leupold.....it will now be matte black. | |||

So, Did the rifle come in today? I think you'll really like it. Mine shot 50gr v-max best and 50gr Barnes almost as good, the 50gr sierra was acceptable too. First thing I would check is to make sure your barrel is not contacting your stock, mine was bad enough the barrel was in a bind, but was easily fixed and shoots extreemly well. I put a 6-24 x44 Burris signature on mine and it is nice but if the idiot who sold it to me had known what he was talking about It would have had a leupold 6.5-20 X 50. He told me there were no rings available to mount a 30mm tube or 50 mm bell on that gun. Lets hear how it shoots Ricky Ricky | |||

Ricky it's 10.30 am here and my gun dealer said the delivery truck could be any time up to 2.20pm I am waiting until then and then I will head to the gun store. I know it will be a better feeling 22/250 than my rem 700. | |||

I've got 4 .22 centerfire rifles, and they all have 1 in 14" barrel twists. You need a 1 in 12" barrel twist to reliably shoot the 60gr. bullets accurately. I think only Savage and some Rugers come with a 1 in 12" twist. I could be in error here though. Best wishes. Cal - Montreal Cal Sibley | |||

Thanks folks, I took delivery today and returned the rifle an hour later, it fed terribly and the box mag was difficult to load. I dont feel the 30/06 length action and box mag to make the 22/250 round work is a good thing. I have not decided what to do yet have considered the stealth winchester in 22/250. I wish the cz had of had a regular floor plate as it is one impressive looking rig thats for sure !! This is my first dissapointment with CZ | |||

PC , You were unlucky . It's not a design fault . There is a problem with the mag on the particular CZ 550 you looked at . A mate of mine has one in .22/250 that feeds perfectly . Whilst the mag isn't super easy to load it isn't difficult either . Has the advantage of being able to keep a spare one in his pocket . 6 of one , half a dozen of the other I reckon . It'll cost you a big quid to get a trigger on the Winny as good as a CZ trigger can be with a bit of work . I'm sure I wouldn't sell a Remmy that I know shoots well to buy a Winchester that is an unknown quantity (I have a model 70 myself by the way) . I could understand it when you said you really loved CZ's and wanted another . The hunting imperative was part of every man's soul; some denied or suppressed it, others diverted it into less blatantly violent avenues of expression, wielding clubs on the golf course or racquets on the court, substituting a little white ball for the prey of flesh and blood.

My .223 just loves 53 grain Hornady hollow points and 748. Outstanding rifle. Sorry yours didn't work out. | |||
