Baldrick Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 It's a no-brainer - it has to be the Tikka at that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Oh right, lots of Tikka fans here then! I have to admit they are accurate rifles and the bolt is pretty smooth. I have an issue with the plastic bits though, I think they're a little poor for a rifle costing what they do! The CZ is all metal. Also extremely accurate but a little less smooth. I'd say it will out last a Tikka easily due to the build quality (or should I say less corner cutting to save a couple of quid). I have a T3 and a CZ527. If the CZ550 had a detatchable mag in 6.5x55 I would have bought that instead of the Tikka. If you could find an old Tikka 595 or 695 though, different story all together!

hambone Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 (edited) CZ Put the £100 difference on a better scope. Edited May 2, 2009 by hambone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the CZ527 is a very different rifle from the CZ550, a real treat to use and own when compared to its clunking older brother. For the purpose of this exercise though, I'd vote T3.

Lloyd90 Posted May 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 I looked at both rifle and held them and worked the bolt. Both very nice guns but I ended up going for the CZ! Im a big ****** and therefore the CZ just seemed to fit me better The bolt was a lil smoother on the Tikka but the CZ's wasn't bad itself and the set trigger is lovely The Remington 710 and 700 had the most horrible bolts I have ever felt the 710 got stuck twice just pulling it back lol! So picked the CZ as with the cheak piece coming out it was a nice comfortable fit and felt right Thanks for the advice guys, shame I didn't quite follow it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunganick Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 tikka, However the cz is a decent rifle, its just not as refined as the tikka. Cz barrels tend to be excellent and very accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 I read a very encouraging thread on the BBS about the accuracy of the CZ527, 'Thug. You may want to have a look. I may be following your lead quite shortly to add a L/H CZ527 to my arsenal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldrick Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 CZ452, I would, but I recall getting my wrist slapped for posting a link to the BBS some while back. I do not want to incur Cranfield's wrath again. Just have a dig back over the last 48 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
