45 Super is an awesome caliber for a woods gun. I shoot Buffalo Bore 255g hardcast at 1100 fps out of my Springfield V16 Longslide which was designed for the 45 Super. Bought it new over 20 years ago :) Had the Springfield Custom Shop tune the trigger and do the front and back straps

I don't know what type of single stage trigger Wayne put in my CZ550 but it's perfect. Breaks at a crisp 2 1/2 lbs Not for the uninitiated with my 500 Jeffery
Good luck! I'm sure it will come out great. CZ 550s are great rifles. Here's my CZ 550 in 500 Jeffery. Wayne at AHR did the upgrades (3 pos M70 type safety, straighten and fill bolt, and single stage match trigger). It came with the barrel band an NECG front sight. Kevin Weaver worked on...
