I am really interested in getting a very nice looking/shooting 30-06. I currently don’t own a 30-06 and I also don’t own any nice wood stocked rifles.
I’d love to believe that this will be my last rifle purchase for a while… I’d like to keep it under $1000.
Looking through my options, I have many options from America: Remington 700 CDL, Ruger Hawkeye, etc. These rifles seem to be nice but not REALLY nice.
If I expand my options to Europe I have the Tikka T3 Hunter and the CZ 550. The CZ looks to be more “classic” than any of the other rifles in the running. With the all-metal parts, Mauser action, great triggers and accuracy, ect this seems like the ideal classic rifle for me. There seems to be a lot of options too (Full Stock, American, Standard, etc.)
I’m somewhat partial to removable magazines and would be tempted to remove the barrel-mounted rear sight and install a receiver mounted peep sight. This would seem to be the way to go with the longer CZ barrels that get your sight radius way out there…
I’m looking for advice on the differences between the CZ models. Also if there’s any other rifles out there I’m overlooking (I’m sure there are) I’d love to hear about them.
