The CZ 550 American has all the features of the CZ 550 Lux but in an American-styled package. This rifle was made with the American shooter in mind, featuring a classic satin finish American stock with walnut stain, 18 LPI checkering and a Pachmayer recoil pad. It features a Mauser-style claw extractor for positive loading and extraction and a compact trigger mechanism which can be used as a single stage or a single set trigger. The CZ 550 has a positive 2-position safety. All CZ 550s feature a classic square bridge receiver with a 19mm dovetail milled right into it for mounting your optics. For accuracy and long life these rifles are fitted with cold hammer-forged barrels that have been factory lapped.
