Haven't owned a cz, tried the ruger a couple times, couldn't get it to feed reliably for me. It shot well and I had handloads for it (and chassis), but...
Went back to the howa, 20" HB (like Bob's), and got the mdt chassis (love these chassies!). I got the barreled action so didn't have to mess with plastic (this time). Brownells gives me a discount on these actions. DIP is a nice add but for the mdt of course, not needed.
The mag release is a much shorter lever, it hides up in the chassis metal and is much stiffer - so much so that sometimes I need fingers from both hands to get it to release. so it's not going to drop out in the field. The round feed is butter smooth.
I have a VG6 6.5 brake on it and a strike eagle scope.
I also have handloads for this one, one is the sst with AR comp. another is the 120 gold dot, with ArC. Both at ~2511.
It's going with me on my deer hunt.
Anyway I know one works for some guys and the other does for others, but as for this howa it is a good one for me. In the right hands it takes a back seat to nobody.
Rarely have I gotten a rifle that shot the hdy black all that good... I just got it for the brass mostly. Handloads are a different story.
