Ok, finally got it narrowed to two. Now before I spend 800 dollars (way more after you include optics), I need a final suggestion.

I'm ready to buy a rifle, but I'm just so hesitant now because I can't pick between these two rifles. My primary use is target shooting (yes I only want .30-06, if i have to i'll take .308), & therefore I will be shooting many more shots in a day than a hunter would. I have it narrowed down to two rifles, and just can't decide. CZ 550 American or CZ 550 Varmint.

Here is a picture of both of them with the American at the top.

What I like about the American is that it is available in .30-06 which is what I want! And also it has a 5 round fixed magazine. Plus it looks better out of the two in my opinion. The thing I don't like about it is that it is not a heavy barrel, which is better for my purposes.

The thing I like about the Varmint is that it is longer with a heavier barrel, which makes it better for shooting a lot of rounds in one day. The thing I don't like is that it is available in .308 only and has a detachable magazine.
