Now sold.

I'm pretty sure it's a sporter barrel. My rifle is a 455 American that originally came with a synthetic stock if that helps?

Well then, you know what to do!

Another bump! Still here!

Bump. Forgot to add open to offers.

For sale is my CZ laminate thumbhole stock which fits a CZ455. I don't know if it fits other models or not but I had it on my .22 455. I found myself being far too concerned about scratching it so I've gona back to the original plastic. £120 posted.

Monday bump to hopefully find a taker!

The four anomalies weren't next to each other but were seemingly randomly...

I'll do this tomorrow and report back.

So, I measured every case I sized today to the shoulder using the comparator. All but four were 1.770". The odd four were 1.775". I chambered them and found I couldn't close the bolt on any, and that's an empty case! I think this is likely the cause of the problem, so whoever said headspace or...
