Not a bad idea. Eye relief is easily adjusted, irons not so much.

NECG has that neat QD pad setup, which seems like it would be a good solution to the LOP/weather interplay situation but I don't know that I want to invest in it for all 3 rifles, plus I'm a little leary of the QD durability aspect. Does anyone know how thier pads compare to Pachmayr in recoil...

Well I just acquired the missing link in my battery of left hand CZ's, so I've been trying to figure out what I want to do to really make them a "set". The first and most obvious thing that came to mind while handling each rifle back to back was making the LOP consistent across the 3, and thus...

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the reply. The pores don't really bother me, but I would of course want the surface finish to be consistent, so would I be sanding with pretty fine stuff? How do you know you've sanded enough?

So I've seen this done with just stripping the finish rather than sanding. What are the advantages of sanding vs just stripping? Filling pores? I think I'm going to try this with 3 of my CZ's.

Not to rub anything in, but my dream .375 came in yesterday!

The 550 came in today. The wood isn't half bad! Action is slick as snot and overall the rifle is really beautifully finished. The stock definitely feels large, but isn't uncomfortable. I'm leaning toward having a synthetic stock made for it if anything.

What are your thoughts on the H&H Improved? I can't decide if it's more of a good thing or a waste of time and money.

I'm interested to know! Is it an A-Bolt II?

I believe that one has just had the sights removed. If you look closely at the picture of the end of the barrel you can see the two front sight filler screws peeking out. If I'm not mistaken they all had sights, even the 24" ones with BOSS.

Fascinating. @Themauserkid has your conclusion varied from your earlier assessment?

That's odd, I don't think I've seen one in .375 H&H  without sights. Here is a pic of mine I sold last week to a great member of the forum. Edit: I didn't see the great member of the forum commented right above me.

Did we ever figure out if the first rifle was a reblue?

Sold.

That's too bad, it looks like they do for the 550 Safari. The pricing doesn't seem too bad all things considered.
