Goodness, I hate to say this. Well here it goes, the eurotrash fin gun is the best buy. Man that hurt to say. You happy, I said it. Nuttin wrong with a CZ. Probably my first choice for a big bore.

Ok well out of the box it is probably the most accurate of the three. I actually lean for the new europe trash CZ ..I have their 22 lr rifle and am really impressed by it. They are all good guns I guess. I ask myself if on a big game hunt in real tough conditions which would be the sturdiest , the CZ wins out and I think it lends itself to gunsmith work better then the other two. For the average hunter I don't think there is a bit of difference between the three. All very good values. Now if they only built that 550 in a 338 I would be even more interested but they make a laminated stock big mag in 375 which might be the ticket also.

But CZ is like European company without the arrogance of a Tikka or Sako. So I give them a tad more slack.

Well, I own all three rifles and I´m very happy with all of them. I will have to say that as more affordable versions of Weatherby and Sako, both the Vanguard and Tikka are really good and dependable rifles.

As for CZ I own a rimfire that is a beauty in the range but I guess I´m limited to that since I don't have any experience with a CZ in a centerfire caliber.

My personal choice of the three will be the Tikka.

Just my 2 cents.....

I have or have had all three.
They are all good but I think the CZ is just a little more for the money and I like the single set trigger. JMHO
Good luck!
