baldie Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Finished this today for a Friend, who is a bloody good customer. Its his old CZ that was originally a .243 and was worn out basically. It now wears a new Pac-nor barrel , 1 in 7" twist and is chambered in 6XC. The stock is a Staffordshire Synthetic Stock that he has had some time. Barrel is screwcut and invisible capped to accommodate the Hardy moderator. Rail is a very nice US optics model. The trigger is a new Timney. Ever took a 550 trigger and internals apart ? Dont....not unless you have an I-phone and a very good memory.... Enjoyed this one....it was...different....... Paint is Duracoat in Baldiecam pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cumbrian 1 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Cheers Dave, you have done me proud. I can't wait to get it home and put some rounds through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay666d Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 6XC... How exciting! Have you done much work in 6mm Super LR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted November 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Yes I,ve built a few, including owning one myself, but to be honest I,ve hardly even shot it in. I also have a Tubb 6xc and much prefer this cartridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have a Tubb 6xc and much prefer this cartridge. I'm just playing with my 6XC Dave - running 105 Bergers at 3350fps with Elcho 17. Anyone tried any other powder? Tried Vit 150 - bit too fast. Tried H4350 - poor velocity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have a Tubb 6xc and much prefer this cartridge. It's good to know... I didn't think they'd be too much difference in either of those cartridges! I don't know why I tease myself with them though... I'm struggling to even get a .243 on my ticket! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried Vit 150 - bit too fast. Tried H4350 - poor velocity OMG can the 6XC really do that,,,,,,I was considering a Dasher at sometime to hop up from a 6BR but mmmmm that's impressive with a high BC 6mm head{bullet} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Cheers Dave, you have done me proud. I can't wait to get it home and put some rounds through it. Iv kinda allways thought that cz look abit old style , but i know they are great rifles solid and accurate , now this has had daves treatment it does look awsome ! Im just loving that paint job , but at the end of the day , to me , as long as a rifle is accurate , then looks dont really matter too much . Have fun and great work dave !

Cumbrian 1 Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 I've managed to find a load that it likes, 39grn H4350, 105 AMAX 3120 fps. I shot this group yesterday despite the S***e weather which is probably one of the best groups that I have shot in a long while. 5 shot group 100 metres prone Not bad for a mauser action!

Cumbrian 1 Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Very good Great speed as well with the 105gr Gaz Cheers, velocity is trued on actual field data, I have tried a traditional chrono and the acoustic ones but never had any great success, I took it bunny bashing up in the pennines on the weekend and it never missed a beat.

Soggy biscuit Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Baldie would 6.5 creedmoor with 140/143 eld bullets fit in the 550 magazine. Cheers sb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes - we have a set of pics should anyone need them!" To be fair to CZ the trigger does have the set facility built in so it is bound to be the teensiest bit more complex than a standard remmie!

visiter1 Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 lovely lovely work dont know much about the 6xc but hope it goes well for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viajero Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 So is a CZ550 a good basis for a semi custom ? many have nice wood and along with a steel mag is it all good ? better donor than a Remy ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrumbag Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 I love CZs (own 2) and my father owns 3. I would say good place to start if you want a sporter or varminter but not all work with detachable mags if that is your thing. Scrummy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalahari Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Floorplates are good!!! Well I think so, as somehow they seem to feed better in a 98 type action. Although I have no problems with my 527 in 223 to be honest. David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
