CZ 550 Vs Rem 798
 

which is better?

RE: CZ 550 Vs Rem 798
 

IMHO, CZ 550

RE: CZ 550 Vs Rem 798
 

+1

I'm even a Remington guy. ;)

If the "big" CZ's are made like their little brothers (.22's) then it's a no-brainer. My CZ American .22 is one of the best made .22's I've ran across in a long time. I think you have to go back to when Remington and Winchester made the 40X and the Model 52's to get a rifle of comparable make.

RE: CZ 550 Vs Rem 798
 

I think the terrible truth is several foreign gun mfg's continually get better and better while most of our American gun mfg's get worse and worse...mainly because of 2 factors.

1. American gun companies have to spend a lot of their money fighting off idiot lawsuits.
2. American gun companies still believe advertising hype about their products trumps quality.

CZ has better fit and finish I will say that. The only con is the bolt handle and the corresponding restriction on type of scope you can put on rifle in respect to ring height. You can find aftermarket stocks for it such as the one AHR produces.


Remington 798 is a hell for strong action has in my opinion a nicer bolt handle design.It is also chambered in 7mm Mag and 300 Win mag and 375 mag which in a CZ comes onlyin the large Magnum action and all its related weight although they have 1 or 2 models that are chambered in 300 win mag built on their standard receiver . The Remington is also to be offered in a stainless action/barrel.

The only dislike on the 798 is that Charles Daly sold them for 100 dollars less for the same rifle...Must cost 100 dollars to rollstamp a Receiver with the Remington Name.

Which one would I buy .........................The Remington..

RE: CZ 550 Vs Rem 798
 

I love the Mauser action. I am a Remington guy too. I am starting to lean towards the CZ.

RE: CZ 550 Vs Rem 798
 

The only problem I see with the CZ is its lack of a stainless steal option,and not a huge variety of calibers. I love the whole wet trigger idea.

RE: CZ 550 Vs Rem 798
 

so ifI want a blued/wood rifle in .270 I should go with the CZ

RE: CZ 550 Vs Rem 798
 

Between the two I would. I might also look at Sako or Tika just to look

RE: CZ 550 Vs Rem 798
 

Well I played with both and the Remington won hands down. All the reviews said it is a great gun and I have to agree. The action is wonderful and won't bid. The stock is muchvery nice, unlike most people'sopinion. At $513 after taxes it is a steal.

RE: CZ 550 Vs Rem 798
 

How did the triggers compare? That is actually a pretty decent deal for the Remington.

RE: CZ 550 Vs Rem 798
 

Yep, unless you consider that Remington is importing the rifle from Zastava, which Charles Daly previously imported and sold for a much lower price.[:'(]

RE: CZ 550 Vs Rem 798
 

I would suggest a Ruger! I have a Walnut/blue as new 99%+ in 270 w/ a 4x12x44AO and a 3.5 lb trigger less than 1 MOA with 130gr BT's $550 shipped. This is one of my personal rifles and without a doubt will drive tacks at 100yards! So if you want a great rifle look at Ruger. e-mail me if interested [email protected]

If you have ever owned a CZ/BRNO it's a no brainer.Most are one hole shooters with A1 barrels..........I have a .22 #5,H#21 7x57 double set triggers,.22 452 and ZK47 30-06 only 20,000 ever made.............Harold
