There are a lot of great rifles out there.

I would recommend the CZ rifle. And for the following reasons.

1. Light Weight
2. Handles and "comes up" very smoothly---IMO
3. Set trigger is very nice, and the unset trigger is also adjustable
4. The CZ's in my experience have been very accurate rifles
5. A steel-removable magazine----I think this is a very good attribute for a mobile rifle. Makes ammo storage very easy, and fast loading.
6, Cost is similar to Savage--And I personally feel the CZ is a better rifle. I do wish it was American made.
7. Comes with rings, and bases are not needed.

I just bought a new CZ527 in 204 Ruger. And so far I am very pleased with the rifle. Tom.
