I have had 3 Centerfire CZ's.
All of them very very nice rifles.
I have 2 CZ's Currently. A 452 and a 550.
So overall 5 CZ's.
I use the set trigger a lot.
On the bench and when the coyote or bobcat is spotted, the trigger gets set.
The set trigger alone beats all others. People say get a timney for the remington...well, a timney is junk comapred to a CZ set trigger. Can that timney go to a few+ ounces ?? lets face it, for a lot of us, shooting paper targets is a lot of fun, and a sweet trigger makes it happen.
compared to Savage, Rem : beats them by a mile.
I have sent back two brand new Savages, becase they would not shoot for diddly. really crap rifles IMHO. a 3rd savage refused to feed rounds from the magazine, it fits so poorly.
And I like a true-blued rifle. Not this looks-like-a-frying-pan-surface stuff thats out there.
but my CZ550 varmint is dissapointing in that respect.
Howa seem very nice. I only own a 1980's howa. trigger is excellent, absolutly excellent. Metal is flawless. feeds smooth.
Seems to me , Rem is only good to get the action, and then spend about $1000 to build on it. Having said that, I am waiting on a Rem., 1982 Classic in .257 to arrive.
Rem is the same price range or more, than a CZ when you step up in Rem to get the CZ build and looks.
For myself, the only rifle I feel gives out of the box performance at a lower cost than CZ is a Tikka. I would not turn down a Howa, but too many of the easily available ones are shorter barrels in a stock I personally dont care for.
I am not a brand snob, and really dont mean to insult others on thier choices. These are just the things that I have found to be true. For that matter I have an expensive leupold scope, that the quality of reminds me of a cheap tasco. So.....
