CZ550 custom

Recommended Posts

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.... :lol:

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.

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

Well the one you did for me shoots a treat!

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!

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}

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 !

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

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.

"'Ever took a 550 trigger and internals apart?" - asks Baldie

 

Yup - makes you realise just what a good design the Remmy is! 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!

 

David.
