CZ550 and the .375

Gentlemen...I am about ready to purchase a .375 CZ but I have a question that I need to answer before I do...If one of you who owns one or has one the the shop would do me a favor, I would greatly appreciate it...how much does one weigh??? barreled action, complete rifle, with scope, I don't care, as long as I know what you put on the scales...I realize this is a troublesome question and I really do appreciate the effort it will take to answer, thanks, Arthur

I had one that weighed 9 pounds and 5 ounces, out of the box, no rings.

I think most would be around 9-1/4 pounds for the bare rifle, out of the box, with wood density variations causing some fluctuation in weight.

Ah, so! Weights of rifles in other calibers in the CZ 550 Magnum, my total experience with the factory CZ's (bare weight, no rings, scopes, slings or ammo):

375 H&H: 9 # 5 oz.
416 Rigby: 8 # 14 oz.
458 Win.M.: 9 # 8 oz.

It seems that my 375 and 416 had the same barrel contour, and the 458 had a slightly heavier barrel contour. That is why the 416 Rigby is the lightest of all, the 458 is heaviest, and the 375 intermediate.

Wachtel

10 pounds even with Warne rings, a Leupold 1-4x20 and a full (5 rounds) mag.

My CZ .416 is a tad over 10 pounds with cz rings, leupold 2-7 Vari X11, fibreglass stock with rounds in mag.

Wachtel and PC,
Yep, that makes the field ready/loaded weight of the CZ 550 in 416 Rigby perfect at about 10 pounds. What a rifle!

Daggarron I am very happy with my cz .416 and I really want to get a cz .375 H&H to go as a matching pair.
