AH yes CZ 550? Own one in 30-06 and love it to death. Accurate right out of the box with 3/4 in groups with simple remington corelokts 150 gr and you are right i wish they did build one in 25-06 they dont. Heavy Mauser at roughly 8lbs though, excellent stand rifle. Never owned a tikka and have often thought about buying one in 6.5 swede. Oh well one is always one in my future. Just bought a used Sako M995 for $500 in prime condition (.300 WinMag) initial range firing fantastic and they build the Tikkas. Also somewhat on the heavy side but glad about that being a magnum cal, is my first magnum after 57 yrs couldnt resist the price and condition of the rifle. Good impluse buy. Just got the Stevens 200 for $300 and if sure outshoots the Hawkeye but GOOD with simple Fed Powershoks 117 gr. No where as pretty though., Ruger getting traded for my next rifle. Maybe a Tikka?
