Rifle Stocks

I was looking for some good spots to find a new lighter stock for my CZ550. I bought it before I realized how much walking I would be doing.

barrels are way heavier than stocks, I think your looking in the wrong place if you want to lighten your rig up.

For stocks Mcmillian is top notch.

I realize the barrel is heavier but I can't afford to rebbarrel and have it Akleyed right now. So I just want to start with the stock and then have the other work done this ssummer. The tree trunk thats on that rifle is huge.

Here is a website that i bought my thumbhole gunstock through. This guy was very good to talk to over the phone and gave me several ideas. he even gave me a blemished stock at a very reduced price. It has one tiny spot where the color (only the color) has a flaw in it. I dont care what my rig looks like as long as it kills dogs Good luck with your search.

McMillan is the way to go.
Manners aren't bad either.

You may have to get a custom for that CZ.
another route is to go find a CZ stock that someone is selling, say the thumbhold design off of gunbroker or similar website.

I went on a similar CZ stock finding adventure not too long ago. Do you have the varmint 550?

Xdeano's suggestion to find a used CZ stock may be your best bet, although I'm doubtful that you can trim much weight from a varmint rig anyway (if you have the varmint) considering a Kevlar stock might shave 10 ounces vs walnut.

The only lightweight option for a 550 that I'm aware is McMillan being that they can inlet for a CZ from a similar action configuration.

Bell & Carlson makes CZ's Varmint Kevlar stock, but the stock is inlet for a micro-scaled small action (223 family).

A wood or laminate stock like the Boyd's suggested can be inlet, but you could end up with a heavier outfit than you started with.

Just as Chris noted, contact Don at stockysstocks.com. He sells alot of everything but McMillan and seems to know who has what.


Nevertheless, I am willing to trade you 1shooter's motorcycle for the rifle if you decide to part with it.

Thanks for the info guys. I'll try Stockys and a few others. My gunsmith said he could cut thios one down for me also. I think that I'll hold onto the CZ for a while. I'm not much of a biker. Besides it's a shooter.

I saw a 550 with a Kevlar stock yesterday. I can't say I know for sure, but prepared to be told that the 550 varmint synthetic variaton is a stock manufactured for CZ by Bell & Carlson. The rifle was #10 without the scope & hardware.

Anyway, aren't many stocks lighter than a B&C Kevlar (supposing it is a B&C), so Xdeano's idea to track down the CZ stock the best solution. Then again, even a Kevlar stock will trim 10 to 16oz at best... and you can always rig up a turret on that flatbed I've seen in your pics.
