CZ 550 FS
Just cost me an arm and a leg but I liked it. Came out of an estate. I don't think it's been fired. It's got a couple of handling
marks but I can live with them. It's in 308 win.

How much is "an arm and a leg? CZ imports those now, don't they? You should have gotten it for less than their normal retail price.
Let us know how it shoots. Nice looking rifle.

Beautiful rifle. I hope you enjoy it for many years. I would like a CZ 22LR.

Here are a couple pics of mine. I really wanted one in 7x64 or 6.5x55 but when this one in 308 came along I couldn't pass it up because of price. The wood looks better in person than in the pics.

CZU, that is a very nice setup. Like the looks of your scope setup.
Texas* what I paid for the CZ has nothing to do with what the rifle
will cost me. You have to remember my wife was there and she dug
$350 out of her stash. We gave $575 plus tax.

CZ FSs are great...... I've got 452 FSs in .22lr and.22 magnum and a 527FS in .223.........................best bang for the buck IMO.
I'd have a 550 but I've had a Ruger International/mannlicher in .243 for 30 years(?)....... to meet my Pa. deer needs.
'arm and a leg"?......New they are less than $800 around here. I paid $720 for my 527 three years ago. I got two "used" 527s for $350 from the owner and another from a LGS for $450 both LNIB.
Just read your (OPs) post above......$575..... not bad......not an "arm and a leg IMHO" I would have done it!!!!!
Hdhic..... depending what your going to be hunting....... look at some of the smaller scopes..... like Leupold's 1-4(or5) X20 they look and preform great on the FS/mannlichers. My 527 is for varmints/coyotes out to 150 yds here in Pa. and it's good to go at 4 x in most fields here or in Penn's Woods on 1X

It is a older Nikon 2-7x32 Shotgun scope on, IIRC, Brno mounts. 50 yard parallax, quick target acquisition.
