I purchased the CZ 557 Varmint form Buds and 2 days later it was sitting at my FFL. Beautiful rifle. Scoped it with a 24x Nikon Varmint and Warne “high” rings. Went to the range and with all the windage adjustment spent the rifle was still 4” right at 100 yards. I contacted CZ and they sent out a shipping label. 5 weeks later CZ called me and acknowledged the rifle was “out of specs”. Very helpful and pleasant to talk with. The gunsmith sent a replacement rifle with an absolutely gorgeous Walnut stock. I can say for sure that CZ is a very good company to deal with. I then minted my New Nikon FX1000 MOA 24X scope and returned to the range. I may have moved the windage 1 click from center but this 557 in perfect alignment with this new scope. This rifle is by far the most accurate rifle I ever owned. Dances on and around a 2” bull at 300 yards! The past 4 guns I have purchased from Buds all had issues right out of the box. Not Buds fault for sure but wondering if suppliers are using Buds for a dumping ground. This issue with the CZ could have been identified by the serial number as CZ knew some 557’s ran with a barrel cant to the right. Maybe sellers didn’t want to have to deal with it. Even with the hassle I have had, this is one of my favorite purchases I’ve ever made! I highly recommend the CZ 557 Varmint.

Amazing rifle at an amazing price! It is very heavy as some have noted, but it only adds to its character. This is a very nice rifle, and very accurate so far. I haven't opened it up yet, but can't wait to see how it performs at longer ranges. I suspect it will do very well. I followed the previous reviewers' recommendation on the scope rings (thank you) and couldn't be happier. The riser is not as depicted (it's shorter), which is apparently a good thing. If you dig around on the internet, you will find a picture of the new set up. I found the high mounts to be perfect for my scope. Can't beat Team Buds pricing and shipping. Thanks!!

Great rifle ticks all the right boxes! I am a fan of CZ and own several, including air rifles. Great quality, fit and finish. The trigger is fully adjustable but was perfect for me right out of the box. Buds shipped very quickly, included a copy of my receipt in the box to the ffl here in Tacoma, making the whole process quick and painless.

Specific information on this rifle can be difficult to find, so I will answer the questions I had before purchasing it in hopes that maybe someone else has those same questions and may find their answers here. I bought this rifle April 2018. This is key, because the CZ557 Varmint has a newly updated stock which does not match the posted pictures you’ll see on this site and others. One of the biggest issues you’ve likely read about was the height of the cheek riser / comb of the stock. Per the picture, the comb used to come up higher than the bore axis. This presented problems with finding scope rings or needing a rail. *The stock has been updated.* Now the comb is at bore axis height. You CAN remove the bolt and sight down the bore from the butt of the rifle. To picture the stock without the high comb, look at the picture of the tactical stock. The geometry of the comb is basically that. The rest of the stock was not changed. Scope ring height: With the new stock I am using Warne high rings with a scope that has a 30mm tube. My cheek bone is about one finger thickness above the comb when my eye is centered in the scope. The issue you read about needing to crush your cheek to get on the scope is no longer a thing. High rings allow about 1/4” clearance between the bolt handle and the scope’s eye bell when the bolt is cycled. My knuckles never hit the scope. As to the rifle itself and my experience with it this far: I did no break in procedure. I cleaned the rifle thoroughly before taking it to the range. It had obviously been test fired. I cleaned to bare metal and headed to the range for functional testing using some inexpensive PMC Bronze 147gr ammo. The first box grouped horribly, as in 2 inches at 100. (all groups mentioned will be 5 shot groups). After 20 rounds the barrel began to settle down very nicely. Aguila 150gr (cheap range ammo) yielded 1 inch groups. Next up came hand loads. I worked up 175gr Sierra Match Kings in various powder loads. Every single 5 shot group was less than 1/2 MOA, regardless of powder load. The sweet spot had groups of .255 - .317 for 5 shot groups. Recall, all I did was take it out of the box and clean it and mount a scope. I made no adjustments to the rifle whatsoever. The trigger came from CZ at 3.5lbs and I have not touched it. Review of the rifle itself: I have numerous CZ rifles and they all shoot the lights out. This one is extraordinarily accurate, which seems to be the common experience among all of the CZ557 .308 Varmint reviewers. With CZ sometimes you hit the wood lottery. I did not. To be perfectly honest I was not happy. When a rifle is listed with Turkish Walnut and every picture shows a safari grade highly figured stock, well let’s say I got my hopes a little high. No such luck. Fit and finish is excellent. The laser stippling is gorgeous. The lines of the stock are stunning- but the wood they used for my stock looks like it was a fence post in a former life. It has a knot from a tree branch that had a void which was obviously filled. The wood has no figure at all. In fact it’s probably the straightest grain I’ve ever seen in a rifle stock but at least the grain is running fore and aft exactly as you’d hope it would for strength and recoil absorption, so there’s that. With the way this rifle shoots I will take it. In fact now I don’t have to worry about beating it up. Buy with confidence. This rifle is a shooter’s dream.

Rifle looks 100% legit and finely made. BUds however wont live up to thier end of the bargain and give me an owed military/LE/first respnder discount on the weapon. Thier customer service says that "this rifle is not eligible for a "qualified professional discount". Yet when I picked the rifle up from the FFL just now...I saw A nice sized sticker on the box that clearly states this. "First responder firearm purchase only"! Buds has my DD214 on file yet they keep saying that this rifle the is not verified as being able to get a discount. all in all, Buds wont live up to thier error...all I know is that I have a rifle box with 2 stickers on it that say that this weapon is for Verterans/LE/First Respnders and such....yet they wont choke up owed discount differential payment. 1st purchase from buds......and my last purchase from Buds...and I will Spread the word.

Tack driver doesn't do it justice. I ordered this rifle from Bud's. Got the usual excellent service and delivery time. Mounted my scope, only complaint so far: can't bore sight it due to the stock design. Minor. A trip to my lsg for a laser sight took care of this problem. Took it out to the range this morning and warmed it up with some cheap factory rounds, then got down to business with some reloads. One hole group at 50 and 100 yards two touching at 200 yards, 2 groups, with the third 1/4 out, both groups. This was right out of the box. I am VERY pleased with this rifle so far, and did I mention the beautiful wood stock? Got some comments on it from others at the range. Thanks Bud's for another high quality purchase experience, and thanks CZ for another excellent shooter.

Absolutely astounded by the workmanship and quality of the materials used to build it and how well this rifle shoots. Buds, as usual, was up to their stellar service in keeping me informed as to the status of my order. Unlike a previous review, my rifle did not come with a Picatinny rail so I asked CZ customer service about this and they informed me that the rail is no longer supplied with the rifle. Prospective buyers may want to verify this with CZ themselves prior to ordering if the rail is important to them. The rifle does come with a 19mm dovetail grooved receiver rail which makes it easy to install scope rings.

I would love to give this gorgeous rifle 5 stars. It is a tack driver! I was able to hit 4 out of 5 pennies with 5 shots using 168 grain A-max that had about 43 grains of BLC2 behind it at 100 yards with only a 12 power scope in foggy, very overcast type conditions. This is easily the most accurate rifle that I own. My only complaint is that the bolt is not $760 worth of smooth. If you get it in just the right position with just the right amount of pressure in just the right place, it works fairly well, but if you don't do it JUST right it doesn't hardly even want to budge when closing. I don't think it's worth sending it in. It does work and no issues with function thus far. Don't get me wrong, I do love the rifle, but the bolt could definitely be improved.

I just got this beautiful rifle sighted in and its a tack driver even after some rapid firing. The gun is a little heavier than I expected and I really like that. I've shot some Savages with synthetic stocks and this rifle is rock solid which I'm sure is contributing to the noticeable, but not unpleasant recoil. I had to mess around with some different scope ring heights because of how my cheek rests on the stock. With a 40 mm scope, medium rings will give you about a mm above the barrel at the front of the scope, however the cheek weld will not let me get my eye low enough for these. For me I think extra high would be most comfortable but I'm crushing my cheek to make highs work. This rifle comes with a picitini rail for scope mounting that is removable. Optics Planet sells rings for the 550 which work nicely if you want to remove it. Overall I am super impressed. I am confident I bought a quality rifle that will last for many rounds and years. Highly Recommend.
