I'm really interested in getting one of CZ's bolt action rifles, I'm just a little curious about a few things.
Can you reload them with the magazine still in the rifle, and what's the build quality like?
Anyone?

well if it counts for anything, as soon as
I come into some extra money I'll be buying the 527 carbine in 7.62, its a pretty sweet little gun.

I really want to get either the 527 in 7.62x39 and the 550 with the full manlicher stock in 6.5 Swedish.
I'm really tempted to just get both.

People say that full stocked rifles suffer from wood warps. Although this is true, newer rifles, such as the CZ FS series, manage this issue by making the barrel free-float in the stock (the barrel actually doesn't touch the stock), and the contact points are reinforced by steel.
CZ FS rifles are literal tack pushers and they are well made and reliable. Cold hammer forged.
I had to choose between a CZ 550 FS in 6.5 Swedish or .308. What a bummer.

Are you able to reload the magazines while they're still in the rifle?
>>27802448
Ignore my filename; it's not FS 550.
>>27802458
No. You're talking about the smaller ones that shoot .223 or 7.62x39, right? You better get 2-3 magazines.
You can watch Youtube videos if you really want to know.

So the smaller calibers you need to take them out, but the fullsized and magnums you can just do it while they're in the rifle?
>>27802559
Yes.
"Full size" (CZ 550) are like any other bolt action full-size rifles. There is no magazine, and it is integrated, so you have to load by hand.
Just as a reminder, stripper clips need not apply because the round limit is 3 in CZ 550. I wish it was, but it's still a great rifle.
