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.

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 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.

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 .

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