from recollection my tikka's shot the 32/40 gr hornady both sub-moa easy, i think the preference was tighter with the 40's, my cz was the other way around, it shot 32's about 1/2-3/4 and the 40's 1-1 1/4 moa, so i'd expect you'll see your 3/4 moa with the 40's pretty easy, it's too bad federal doesn't still load the 39 gr sierra blitzkings, it was THEE load for factory ammo, it was awesome accurate and killing and fought the wind well
I must say Leupold has my attention. I like more zoom power than 10x but I definitely have been considering a leupold. 14x is bear minimum and I prefer
18x - 24x. Light/accurate/durability/18x plus/price just need to find this perfect mix.

I also have always been curious about the cds reticle. With a coyote rig things happen fast so being able to re-range quickly appeals to me also.

I'd heard the Lux and carbine might be staying but don't know for sure. Rumour was the 550 was discontinued due to the Mauser action cost. CZ had been outsourcing their extractors which was part of that.

Be a shame if they disco'd the Mauser. That didn't work well for Winchester way back when.

Unfortunately the lux and carbine are both listed as discontinued in 2021.

Here is their list of discontinued models;

Wow, they really gutted their center fire rifles. All that's left is the new 600 series.

Seems once Beretta's bean counters get ahold of a solid rifle line they just can't resist upsetting the apple cart. Soooo glad I bought them when they were still made over seas.
