After a 40 round break-in session, I am shooting groups no bigger than 1/4" center-to-center at 50 yards in .308 Winchester. I cannot wait to shoot it at 200+ yards. This is my third CZ rifle, but it will not be my last.
I shot a .22-250 off a mounted bipod, 1"grp/200yrds. Plucked 4 .22lr shells off a 2x4 at 150. On a scale of 1-10 this rifle is a 12

THE 550 SERIES IS UNSURPASSED IN OUT OF THE BOX ACCURACY. .308 OUT OF THE BOX SUB 3/8 IN. GROUPS @ 200 YARDS WITH FACTORY LOADED BLACK HILLS AMMO HORNADY SST ALSO SHOOTS SUB 1/2 IN. GROUPS.
I have a CZ500 22-250 VARMINT that I bought 5 yrs. ago and just got around to shooting it during Deer season in Mo.,After I got it sighted in, the next 4 shots ( AT 80 YARDS)went in a hole no bigger than the end of a CIGARETTE.
I couldn't beleive that I had bought a factory made rifle that would do that or for that matter any where close to that.

I have taken this to the range twice and twice I've shot sub 1/2" groups at 100yds! With quality factory ammo. I'm very happy with this rifle and caliber! I can't wait to take it out to 200-300 yards......

175 Sierra Matchking, Nosler custom brass, IMR 4895 41.6, Federal 210 match primer equals .192 5 shot group 100 yds. 5.5 5 shot group 800 yds. This rifle is extremely accurate even without handloads. Feed it good stuff and the results are amazing! groups shot in morning with no wind and low humidity 52 degrees.
GREAT Rifle- Awesome accuracy - Added 1 year, 4 months ago. Added by Matt
I have worked up extensive hand loads and have found the perfect recipe utilizing 175g Berger Match Target VLDs. I have only briefly used the set trigger and this target was actually made with the standard, not set mode tweaked only slightly lower than factory.
At the time of this photo I had not yet Zeroed to the newfound round yet but was working on consistency. It was pretty close.
Used a Nikon Buckmaster 6-18x 40mm BDC scope. Attached is a pic that shows just what can be done. Keep in mind this is during an 18mph breezy day at just a few feet over 100meters. Tried my best to shoot during the lul of the wind when it was calm. I found the Bergers excellent BC to be, at least at 100 meters, seemingly impervious to the cross-wind.
Unfortunately the platform was not the most stable but I still managed to get .125" center to center between shots & .250" center to center from the 1st to 3rd shot. The large black squares are 1" & gray are 1/4". I am confident with a stable platform & calm day it will produce near hole in hole.
I have the laminated stock version and the only thing I did was free float the barrel. I did it a little differently than probably most would. Instead of removing the barrel from the stock then grinding down the stock channel I used sandpaper with the barrel in-place. There was only contact at the very end of the stock tip so I kept layering 100 grit sandpaper until I had about 4 layers. One at a time removing a thin layer. I did this from day 1 so I couldn't tell ya how it shoots without doing that, or if it even made any difference.
What I do know is for a stock CZ-550 with a little sandpaper and JB Bore Cleaning Paste (performed an extensive cleaning/pseudo-polishing before going out) it has produced great results.
I have since put ~80 rounds of all hand-loaded ammo and it has performed beautifully. Considering another in a different caliber.
Just set this gun up for a local police chief. Trigger was set at 3lbs and set trigger at 10oz.Mounted a Nikon 3-12 monarch and was shooting under half MOA with my first load. Target is 5 shots at 100yds using H380 and 168gr Sierra Match kings. Damascusgunshop.com
i am a eternal varmint hunter from grammer school until now in my sixtys have over the years had about every good rig you could have about 4 years ago the great people at bikerch ammo in rochester ny started carrying the cz line well i fell in love cz 550 17 rem 2o4 ruger 308 win to name my favs long story short i took a trip with these guns to rapid city sd wanting to get the 500 yd club ranged two at 504 and 517 one shot one kill on each of them longest with the 17 rem 797 yds love these guns and will always have them. lee damico
Took out the .308 with the Kevlar stock for the first time. The gun did really well. It shot a 5 hole group under 1/2" moa at 100 yrd. The ammo was reloads with the following spec's winchester brass (2.005")ttl, federal 210 match primer, sierra 168 gr. match, 44 gr. Varget, COL 2.815". It will do better if the shooter (me) was a better shot. I just need to practice more. BOP, breath ect.
It is easily a one hole puncher out of the box. The wind and lighting conditions where changing on me. Needless to say I'm happy with what it is doing. I've also purchased the 22-250 but it isn't scoped yet. Can't wait to see how it does.

Excellent rifle. Best Ive done is a 5-shot .512" group at 200 yards with mine. Easily a MOA gun right out of the box with a wonderful trigger.
The only brand I will own. - Added 2 years ago. Added by michael king
I recently purchased a CZ 550 Varmit in 22-250. I was able to shoot 20 rounds of factory remington 45 grain JHP into a 2 inch group at 200 yards. This is an incredible rifle, everyone should own one.
