I’m looking at potentially selling my Sako collection and replacing it with a single bolt action in 6.5x55. I found a new CZ 550, still in the box, but after a bad experience with a loose CZ 527, I’m a bit hesitant.
I know the 550 is a legend for big game, but can it pull double duty as a precision rig? My typical season involves everything from 30m moose drives to picking off hares at 300m from a backpack rest.
I’m looking for 0.5 MOA with handloads. Am I asking a cannon to be a laser, or is the CZ 550 capable of that kind of surgical accuracy with minimal tweaking? Or you guys have other recommendations?
 
Id look at the Sako swap to CZ 550 as more of a move toward a traditional, tough hunting rifle than a true precision setup.
