I don't think you would be dissapointed with either the CZ or the Tikka, but I personally would lean toward the CZ, as I also have a serious love affair with the Mauser action.
Great round, and under-appreciated for it's ability to shoot bullets of 77 grains up to 160 grains with aplomb with generally great accuracy from the 120 grainers to the 160's.
I personaly live Husqvarna's and love the Mauser action as well. One can't beat the quality of steel in these rifles. Swedes do mine the best iron ore in the world.Personally I find a used Husky in excellent condition, but I suggest you opt for the CZ as well since it's not on your list.
