pretty rifle...7.9 lbs is not light....keep telling myself i dont need another 30.06

Beautiful rifle, but that hog back stock makes no sense on a rifle with no sights.
And for those that don't know...the 557 is a push feed, not the 550's CRF.

I guess the stock would work with a really low mounted scope...I've done it before on those.

My only quibble with it is the barrel length at just under 21". Yes, velocity gain is minimal after 18.5", but stabilization of heavier bullets will suffer.

Twist would have far more to with stabilization than barrel length.

Yes, but some people see heavy bullet groups tighten with the addition of a silencer. Even a little more distance of gas propulsion seems to make a difference.

That's a good looking rifle for sure.

And people are cutting their barrels shorter with a suppressor, regardless of whether they use a heavy bullet or not.

I could do without so much gold but the rifle itself is gorgeous. I bet it's a sweet shooter.

I have the .308 coming. I will post some pics when it arrives. I could not pass on the deal and CZs are known for good triggers and accuracy. Almost bought the 06 also..

 

[Antler Daddy]

I did not even see the .308. I do agree stock is funny for a scope eye level. It looks to be a lot of rifle for money.

Yeah that's why I posted it.. seems hard to beat for less than $700.

Got that Bavarian hogsback comb. Probably will want to keep scope low as possible to get a good cheek weld.

Monday for me to.. What bases are you going to use?

Not sure. They used to provide rings for rifles without sights. Waiting to see if they still do. If not, will likely just order theirs...they are solid rings.

 

[Tenntrapper]

Got mine today. No rings included.

 

[KTS]

Tenntrapper, that is a beautiful rifle and an awesome piece of wood in that stock.

Wow

Sweet!
