[QUOTE="Guy M, post: 1349714, member: 8622"] I think it's hard to beat the famous Winchester Model 70. MRC is essentially a copy of the Winchester action, with some modifications, and they too are good rifles. The CZ is fine. I have a couple of them for varmint rifles but have found their sporter rifles a bit "clunky" - kind of heavy and not good handling. The quality is very high, they just don't feel as good in hand to me. That counts for a lot to me. I'd recommend taking a hard look at both the CZ and the Winchester, and buying the one that feels best, that works best, for you. Either rifle will work just fine for a general purpose hunting rifle. Re the cartridge debate... Oh my goodness - I really don't think there's that much to choose between the .300 WSM or .300 Win mag, and the various 7mm magnums. Yes, we can split hairs and say this one or that one is "better" but honestly, they'll both reach out there to longish range and take game just fine if you do your part as a hunter & marksman. I've owned 7mm Rem mags, .300 Win mags, and currently have a .300 WSM. All were very capable cartridges. Enjoy your shopping! Regards, Guy [/QUOTE]
