anyone here have one ? If so does the magazine accommodate ammo run out to the lands ?
Accuracy as good as a Tikka ? Thanks , Kenneth

I don't have one in .308, but I do have one in 22-250 so I'll chime in. I've used quite a few different bullets in the 40 to 62 grain range and my magazine will accommodate any COAL that I desire. Don't know if this helps you, but running them long has been a non-issue for me.

It didn't shoot like I thought it should when I first got it, but after a professional bedding job the rifle turned out to be quite good for a factory gun. Typical 5 shot groups at 100 yards will come in at right around a half inch give or take. I've shot quite a few 3 shot groups in the 2's and 3's.

My gun cleans up very easily as well. They employ some type of lapping process at the factory. It never really did copper foul much at all.

I'm happy with my CZ.

Thanks . I like the looks and feel . Looking at the bore , it was really dirty , may stop back by there and ask to drag a bore snake through to get a better look at the bore .

I have had a lot of CZ rifles and I loved them all, they all could shoot better than I could shoot them. So I bought my first 550 in 243, nice clean used rifle Monday afternoon, brought it home to really clean the bore and look at it with my bore scope. I cleaned on it way to long to get most of the copper out, when I looked at it with the bore scope I was shocked, the picture I saw would have made a great add for the bore scope company. This thing was so fire cracked it was unbelievable, the barrel was quite literally (toast) they took it back. If I hadn't scoped I would have kept it. So please have it bore scoped. Carl in Yakima
