Remington SPS or CZ 243

[viking499]

Been looking for another 243 since I lost mine to my wife. Narrowed it down to 2 at the local shop. One is a Remington SPS stainless 243 and the other is a CZ 243. Both can be had for the same money.

Which would you all prefer and why? Experience or goods and bads from either?

The CZ is going to be a nicer rifle with a much better trigger. The fit, finish, everything should be nicer on the CZ. I wish I could afford one.

If your not going to modify it get the CZ.

I have one of their 22's and it's a really nice gun. It's just silly that I paid about the same for a blued and walnut stocked CZ bolt gun as for my plastic and rustoleum Remington 597.

If you want to replace stocks and things then the Remmy might be a better choice, as parts are more available.

CZ, all the way. I've voted that way with my money & I'm a happy camper.

CZ for a great, fancy rifle.

Or for a practical knockaround rifle, this one if you like the Remington but want a similar action in a lighter gun with a better safety and a better stock, for a better price: http://www.legacysports.com/products/howa/howa_ranchland.html

The Remington? Only if it's free.
