You can just adjust the set trigger off. I did that on my 458. They did the same triggers on all their 550 rifles- so from 223 short actions to medium 30-06 actions to the magnum DG actions. My 30- 06 trigger is identical and I am pretty sure interchangeable with the 458 trigger. I also adjusted...

Cz 550 is not a bolt/ firing pin safety, it blocks the sear/ trigger assembly. I have been able to polish and set my 2 CZ to have excellent triggers. Safeties have been fine so far. Blocking the sear or the trigger seems pretty even to me. Blocking the firing pin is better but not without its...

I have 5 in the rifle +10 on my belt for my 458. I do school trips with that carry plan, taking groups of students out into the Bush on walks- usually have a few extra rounds in my backpack. For hunting with my 30-06, I have 5 in the rifle + 10 to 15 in my pack. Then I often have a box or...

I think zero replies tells you the story. Most people can see the difference instantly. A few look at a distant object or the dark corner of the room and see the difference. But if you ask for the metrics and testing procedure then you are greeted with silence. I would put Swarovski glass...

My trusted rifle is a CZ 550 in 458 Lott. It needed work to feed flat nose solids. It also came with the front sight soldered at an angle and an odd piece of plastic behind the recoil lug. I bedded both recoil lugs. It has been tested under pressure and now I trust it. Every rifle can fail, all...

Pillars are mainly to stop compression of the wood an isolate the screw from wood expansion and shrinking. Splitting of a stock is often started on the end grain by the action splitting the wood. So to stop that you could put epoxy bedding compound between the stock and action or a steel insert...

I have been using a beeswax based polish-dont know the brand on my belts and leather slings etc. I used the polish that comes with Courtney boots-also a beeswax polish. But for more than 20 years I used parafin wax shoe polish. I dont see much difference in performance, I end up wearing them out...

Hacksaw or power saw blade ? I am pretty sure you can find one at the right dimension. Last resort a circular saw blade but that will need a fair bit of cutting.

So what the smith did was put the rifle in a support like a lead sled or similar and set up a straight edge equal distance from the bore centre and action centre and measured with a vernier to the bead and then the backsight V. There was 1/8 " difference. Then you could warranty the rifle.

I would set the rifle up in a rest and measure the front and rear sight are centred. I bought a CZ 550 and front sight was soldered at an angle and so the rear sight had to be offset to correct it. A smith heated up the front sight and straightened it up. Rear sight zeroed exactly central after...

Maybe you should move this to its own thread in the non- funny section. Seems a little too true for this thread .

I use a camera tripod and I just made a padded fork to fit on top. It is actually more sturdy than the trigger stick etc. I am sure you can find a good quality second hand camera tripod around and it will do double duty. Mine are aluminium but you can also get carbon fibre for less than the...

My CZ 550 in 458 lott holds 5 +1 but it makes ejecting and then feeding the second round a bit dodgy so I only load 5. I think it unlikely that you would be in a charge situation and have the opportunity to fire more than a couple of shots. We have a target that is pulled towards you at about...
