Thread: Help me make my mind up

I have had a few .223 and handled alot of the models mentioned.

I had a savage weather warrior, pre accu - stock but had the accu - trigger, ok gun but nothing to write home about. Stock was very average.

Howa, good quality Jap workmanship slapped into a fucken chunky horrible stock, felt clunky , ill fitting and awkward to me .

Remington 700, trigger job helped and it pointed well, good shooter for a ADL model but 1 : 12 twist

Cz527, bolt a little gritty but did improve with use. Nicely made and no plastic, awesome set trigger that could be used normally. 1;9 twist and was bloody accurate. Highly rate them.

Tikka T3 I got from a forum member, I know they are bland but accuracy is never boring so this thing was very exciting to take out. Smooth bolt and nicely balanced.

For me and only my opinion I would look at either a CZ 527 if you like the more traditional look and feel but with new world manufacturing and quality.
Or Remington model 7 with the right twist rate, a lot of guys on here have a lot of love for the Model 7 and rate it as a quintessential NZ hunting rifle. Plus you have a choice of stock finishes, stainless etc.
You would need to handle both rifles to see what felt right.
Good luck
