I ve had Tikkas, Howa and a Savage. Why the Tikka ? Very good out of the box, accurate, smooth and well finished for the price point. Excellent re sale value and a shit load of after market bling if you want to look different.
Howa I thought were great but seemed a little rough in the bolt department, probably got better with rounds down the barrel.
Savage, shit stock ( have not tried Accustock version ) . People say they are ugly , i don't. Accutrigger has revolutionized the industry and cloned a lot of copy's and uped the bench mark. However I never found the two I had overly accurate. Not bad but never on the same level as the 4 Tikka's I have owned.
CZ in my opinion are the best value for money. No plastic, great accuracy with excellent finishing, plenty of history in the company and a firm that has moved with the times but not compromised their product , all for around the price of a new Tikka.
Worse thing about CZ is they have Kilwell as their agents in NZ,
