Lloyd90 Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 Has anyone had one recently? I’m tempted to “pimp my rifle”. Only worry is it’s only a standard barrel CZ550 not a custom barrel or anything fancy. Also is there much difference between their sporter and hunter models? Just appears to be slightly different stock curve on the back end but I’m not sure what difference that would make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 I was tempted once to use one of these stocks on my Tikka T3 Lite, and also on my Howa 1500, but decided against it, mainly because of the cost and also because I'm shooting well with both rifles now, and the stock's would, in my opinion, only improve the look of them.

Lloyd, my opinion, save your money or spend it on glass as that would probably go on your next gun more often than a stock, yes they are multi adjustable but the laminate tends to be heavy, unless you only shoot prone, the synthetic are a pain to bed and they are a marmite stock, if it's the laminate look you like there are cheaper alternatives like Boyds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted December 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 The wooden stock on my CZ550 has a bit of flex in it so not ideal, I would look at alternatives but there don’t seem to be that many to fit the CZ action in the UK. Whats the score with ordering a Boyds stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
