Ordered a New Rifle......

[Brithunter]

.Hi Andy,

Well what can one say 6.5x55 in a CZ Hmmm I might be a bit older than 12 but am open for adoption

Now this group was shot using my CZ ZKK 601 in .308. The rifle has factory bedding including a tightly inletted and bedded barrel. I took the single old style CZ sett trigger out and fitted the curved std trigger which does have a tiny bit of creep Shot this group last sunday using a sandbag under the fore stock from the prone position this is the only 5 shots of this handload fired that day as I only had 17 loaded from a while ago. It works well on Deer :-


The stray is a 180 grn Winchester Silver Tip which I tried soem of, this rifle hates it spreading it over the target

A better shot could possibly have tightened it up more .The rifle is fitted with a 6x42 scope. My 6.5x55 rifles are not CZ's but I have used them to good effect on deer. In one a sporterised Swedish Mauser it likes the 120 Grn Speer bullet over a charge of 4350. The Mauser M96 Slide Bolt seems to prefer 140 Grn bullets. For larger game the Hornady 160 Grn RN bullets are very good. I have not yet had the chance to try the Sierra 169 Grn bullets. Reloader 19 works for me with the 160's .

CZ's are known for being accurate in fact have never met anyone who was not pleased with thier rifles who owned them.
