I feel somewhat under gunned with both - but I would choose one of these two rifles with the proviso that shots would be limited to approximately 100 - 125 yards. I am hunting on light forest adjacent to pastureland on a friend's farm. No deep woods and no long across the field shots. I have harvested 15 or so deer in the past with other calibers that I DO NOT have access to this year.
The lever packs a heavier wallop while the bolt has superior sighting capability.
I know there are many better alternatives out there but it "ain't" what I got so please try to limit your response to #1 or #2. If you feel VERY strongly that neither is sufficient please voice your opinion.
The CZ is .223/5.56
The Marlin is .45(LC)
