CZ550 Safari Mag in 458 Lott feeding test

[oscar1975]

I'll have to try and feeds my CZ 550 Safari Magnum in this cartridge. Actually I have the rifle on a whim because it will be difficult that I can take a safari in Africa. I'll recharge under this cartridge to go for boars, as I say on a whim, but I wish they would feed and expel the rifle properly.

The safety "on" in the video (the first attempt at a shot) showed an obvious flinch. I am not sure of the result, on the target (as the video didn't make that clear), but there is a flinch in need of a cure.

Cant agree more, cost vs profit is always going to be the issue. Cant speak for Winchester but the CZ is a cast action, it has very few upgrades since the ZKK action was first buildt to its current 550 action, main diffrance is in the trigger assembly and mounting. Their cast mold is getting pretty old and it can be seen in the rough edges and not so sharp lines in and outside the action. What was a standard polish procedure years ago just does not cut it anylonger.
One main advantage the M70 has as far as feeding is concerned is that Winchester coned the breach, this helps the bullet slide into the chamber, CZ has a flat chamber entrance making feeding straight down the centre more critical.

The CZ 550 is built on a billet machined receiver. The action and bolt are beyond solid. No question some of them come out a bit rough. Ruger bolts actions are all investment cast. Not saying Ruger is an inferior rifle. Just fact. We have a M70 Classic (CRF) in 416 Rem. I like my CZ better
